@proger16: Thanks... This was a hard one!

proger16 : Thanks for your tests.
Windows 7: I found, it's the new lib we used to zip/unzip.
Createfile2 should have never been used for Desktop apps, even not when using Windows 11, forced CreataFileW.

Single .EXE now works from Windows 7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) to Windows 11.

Changes ...

All FileTransfer... and duplicate list fixed.

RDP: I think it always worked like that. It requires a review but that's not for now. As far is a remember, the Server sometimes need to restart the winvnc in another desktop. To avoid to pass the RDP selection each time some trigger was added, only doesn't work 100%.
