MS says a lot of things to sell its stuff. You're the first user that 
reported this issue and thousands have downloaded and used Hugin 0.8 
snapshots on Windows XP and Vista without reporting any of this. If it 
was a systemic problem, we'd read more such reports.

The current assumption is that the bug is well hidden and for whatever 
reason it triggers only on your specific setup. The bug may trigger 
another kind of error on other setups; or may not trigger at all.

BAD NEWS: This kind of spurious, non-reproducible bugs are the most 
nasty ones to identify and fix.

The solution is not to change things for others. We need to analyze 
thoroughly Hugin's behavior on your machine under controlled 
circumstances so that we can infer from the difference in circumstances 
where the problem is.

People here are willing to help, but it all depends on you because 
nobody else has access to a machine that triggers the error.

First we need to establish a version of Hugin that works on your box. I 
hope this will be one of the 0.7.0.XXXX installer.

Then you will get from SVN that XXXX version and build it against the 
SDK that you have currently on your machine.

Best case scenario both work well, then we know that the bug is 
somewhere between XXXX and the lastest TRUNK. The next step would be to 
find the YYYY SVN version where YYYY+1 triggers the bug and YYYY does 
not. Then the developers can look at the code between those two releases 
and hopefully identify the bug and fix it.

If we are lucky, there is a difference in behavior between 0.7.0.XXXX 
installed and SVN XXXX built with your SDK. Then we know that the 
problem is in the SDK and we can start looking at the different SDK 
components to identify which one it is. This is the most likely scenario.

Worse case scenario, also 0.7.0.XXXX does not work, and we have to dig 
even further down.

At this point it is counter productive to introduce *any* change that 
affects the general public. It is only on your setup. You'll need to be 
patient and follow the advice that is given to you here on the list, and 
not what MS says.
