I have an application build with VS2008 SP1a (9.0.30729.4148) on Windows 7 x64 that does not want to start under XP.
The message is The application failed to initialize properly (0x80000003). Click on OK to terminate the application.. I checked with depends.exe
and found that msvcr90.dll does try to load FlsAlloc from KERNEL32.dll -
and FlsAlloc is available only starting with Vista. I'm sure it is not used by the application.
How to solve the issue?
The SxS package is already installed on the target machine - In fact I have all 3 versions of 9.0 SxS (initial release, sp1,
and sp1+security patch)
Application is compiled with _BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION=1
Also I defined the right target Windows version on stdafx.h
#define WINVER 0x0500
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
