IIRC, I believe this is the VS CRT failing (i.e. hasn't even loaded our code 
yet). Minimum supported OS is XP SP3 and last 2003 SP as well. Frustrating that 
is the route the VC++ team chose but we don't have a lot of choice, except to 
use an older CRT that doesn't have all the same security updates (i.e. not a 
good choice)

Yup, I'm pretty sure that was one of the articles I found. (At the very least, 
I found several saying the same thing)

The point was that I was (sort of) expecting the burn engine to have a code 
path which didn't try to call this function if the OS happens to be Windows 
XP/Server 2003 RTM.

If that's not possible because it's statically linked or something, or it's 
deemed not worth fixing then that's OK because we don't actually support XP 
ourselves, we just would have preferred a better error
