	<![CDATA[ <message> CreateProcess() failed - </message> p.s.: This is not the only project that does this, I guess some compiler code references a DLL function that differs or is new in later Windows versions. Current MS VC++ versions need to be instructed to support older windows versions, it doesn't do that by default anymore. Probably not really a problem, Win2k with support for only 2 logical(!) CPUs will not be used so much anymore.

I think there's a way to do it using visual studio 2008, but i'm not quite sure if it's worth the headache to set it all up...

	Same problem with Win XP SP1. It's not just this project with XP SP1 and 2K, I know of at least 5 others. Not worth doing a special app for these dinosaur OSs IMO. Al.
