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.)

Re: [Neko] SuspendThread problem (SHWX + Neko + GC.DLL) -       Recompile

Hi again,

I tried that you said (putting DLLs in the same folder that recompiled 
Neko is), but I ended with a Neko.exe that can not start in a Windows XP 
SP3 clean environment (no .NET installed). So I think I will have to try 
the MSVCRT 6.0 route again...

Any hint/help about that? Many thanks!

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.)

Hi Nicolas,

That is the problem, I need to target MSVCRT 6.0 because my app should 
not require users to install anything (I think that Windows XP shipped 
with that DLL).

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.

Regards
