Don't know. It's probably something to do with the C runtime. It may be possible to add some additional compile-time flags. I have a number of virtual machine images at home with all the different flavors of VC from VC98 onwards. I'll play around with them tonight on my newly resuscitated Win64 box. (Not sure if I still have a Win9x CD so that I can make a Win9x virtual machine.) > I also updated the NSIS installer, but I don't think that is relevant. Speaking of which, how do you actually build gvim72a.exe? I tried to build a Vim installer several months ago and gave up in complete frustration. My guess was that you had some additional build scripts which weren't in the SVN archive. -- /George V.
