LOOK UPON MY DEFORMED FACE! 
As per the other thread, the newest release of Dink "HD" doesn't work at all in Windows 7. I managed to get it to compile and it's available for download here, with the main new feature being a "quit" button. Extract Dink.exe over the top of your existing install which will be in Appdata somewhere, along with the DLLs and the debugging symbols (I don't know why, but Seth included them too). Use Everything to find it if you cannot. Crappy old MSE claims there's a virus in it, but you can run it through VirusTotal if you're paranoid.

While building it, I managed to get it to use SDL as the audio backend which means greatly improved MIDI playback compared to the standard build which uses an old version of FMOD. To take advantage of this, you must download the Timidity GUS patches and extract them to C:\. Incidentally, if Freedink is installed, the MIDI output will automatically be upgraded for that as well, as it uses SDL2 Mixer by default.
Edit: Built with gamepad support and the debug menu. If it complains about not being able to find xinput1_4.dll, find xinput1_3.dll on your PC, copy and rename it and put it alongside dink.exe with the other DLLs
Edit 2: This should be unnecessary now!
