   Seems to be an access vioaltion -> not very helpful. I also dont have the   
   exact build configuration I used back in the days, so I cannot reproduce the   
   address layout of the binary on my machine to see whats happening.   
      
   May first guess is actually, that newer windows versions may have stopped   
   including a component that the original setup relies on. I will try to build a   
   binary installer for the latest version over the weekend that we can use for   
   testing.
