Win2k is quite old but there are still users of Win2k. For example we still have to support Win2k for the libusb-win32 project now so we have to use an older version of WDK. I myself do not really want to support Win2k since I do not have Win2k machine for testing.

Will this be too much work if you want to rewrite every function available in Vista/7 msvcrt.dll and yet not available in XP's msvcrt.dll? Just wondering if it is possible to ask the users to install MSVC2005 run-time and link to that instead. Take note msvcrt.dll is a "known dll" and meant to be used by only system level components (like drivers). So WDK compiler will link to msvcrt.dll but not MSVC200x. ++++++++++++++++++ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh.aspx What is the difference between msvcrt.dll and msvcr100.dll? The msvcrt.dll is now a "known DLL," meaning that it is a system component owned and built by Windows. It is intended for future use only by system-level components. ++++++++++++++++++ Other reference: http://kobyk.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/dynamically-linking-with-msvcrtdll-using-visual-c-2005/ -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
