Description:
MySQL 5.7.5 don't run on Windows Vista (32-bit).

Because MySQL 5.7.5 use TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive, but Vista don't have the entry point for it. 

How to repeat:
Run MySQL 5.7.5(mysqld) on Windows Vista.

Suggested fix:
We have to describe about it (MySQL 5.7 don't run on Windows vista),

or

don't use TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive

verifying this as I have a vista machine at home.  
The usage of this function is in Query Cache.

I know vista will not be supported for 5.7,  but it doen't mean we shouldn't make minimal effort to keep it running at least.  Perhaps a runtime check, and simply disable the query cache with a huge warning ?

Note https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html

which mentions Microsoft Windows 2008 Server R2 as a supported platform for MySQL 5.7.

Microsoft Windows 2008 Server is not supported for 5.7,
