Somebody somewhere has missed the point.  You don't need to upgrade the OS
to build the Installer - that would be INSANE.  You need to upgrade your
*header files*.  Hell, we could even include the appropriate header file in
cvs (I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't mind).  Or, as I said (some time ago) in a
previous email, somebody can put the BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY and
ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY #defines in (preferably in a separate .h file, not in
the source .cpp, and #include it) and it will compile fine that way.
I'm not going to do it myself, because I've done nothing wrong, and I have
better things to do than argue the relative merits of Microsoft OSs and
whether or not to download the latest header files and whether or not this
makes program development more difficult.  Come on people.
