What's the "cannot start" symptom that you see? You might be able to use Process Monitor (from the same source as Process Explorer) to determine that -- just as a possible example -- the version of MSVCRT that you put into your directory requires a matching ABCD.DLL that you'd also have to include in your directory, because it doesn't come with XP SP3.
Process Monitor is not super-easy to use. If it's Neko.exe that can't start, set a Process Name filter to specify that, and don't leave it turned on for very long. (Turn it on, try running neko.exe, then turn it off and look at the accumulated info.) J.

So I think I will have to try the MSVCRT 6.0 route again... Any hint/help about that? Many thanks! On 05/05/2010 18:11, [email protected] wrote: IIRC, you're delivering your software on a CD. You should be able to include any version of MSVCRT that you want on the CD in the same directory as your other executables, and that's what will be used when the code runs. I hope that info is useful to you. (You might want to download Process Explorer from sysinternals.com. It will let you see what DLLs a process has loaded -- to confirm that the DLL you're delivering is the one that the process is loading.) J.

By the way, will I need to recompile also the Neko libraries? I though that I will be able to use their precompiled binaries (I though I only needed to comment the GC_use_DllMain() line in alloc.c). Can some of you already able to compile Neko for Windows please compile a Neko binary with this small change (using MSVCRT 6.0)? Many thanks.
