4.22 will not render with windows 7 so why does it install?

As noted in the log file ... nvidai driver 522 is required but win 7 only support 474 
---
An alert would have been handy to have it mentioned. Before installation. 
---
If I didn't have the knowledge to back up both the installer for old versions and also copy the daz 3d folder to another driver 
I would have to resort to trying to convince Daz to give me an old installer.

    It installs because IRay will work with the cpu on Widows 7.

    I feel your pain and irritation - but the first page of the release announcement does include this:

    Known Issues:

     

    • Windows
      • Windows < 10 (e.g., 8.1., 8, 7, etc)
        • Drivers required for the version of the NVIDIA Iray render engine included in this version of the application may not be available

    Some people still prefer to use 3Delight. Others use Filament. Not everone is married to Iray. Some people export to other programs to render. That is why there are so many bridges, I suppose.
