PacketManipulator msvcrt.dll error on WinXP

[qsy]

When running PacketManipulator on WinXP, the following error is returned:

"The procedure entry point _ftol2 could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll"

Ok. Seems strange. I've looked around internet and doesn't seems to be a problem related to PacketManipulator. The problem is caused by the installer that was generated from a windows vista box. Probably it's caused by a library requested by PM as dep. If you could find what is that I could investigate more.

From http://firodj.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/ruby-on-rails-using-native-windows/

The VC 7 compiler uses _ftol2 function for converting floating point to integer number. But the VC 6 library only have _ftol function to do this, so the generated linking error will comes up.

And this is the code to workaround the situation:

#if (_MSC_VER >= 1300) && (WINVER < 0x0500)
// VC7 or later, building with pre-VC7 runtime libraries
#if defined(__cplusplus)
extern "C++" {
#endif
extern long _ftol( double ); // defined by VC6 C libs
extern long _ftol2( double dblSource ) { return _ftol( dblSource ); };
#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif
#endif

Yes I think you're right. I tried to overwrite a more updated copy of msvcrt.dll in the PacketManipulator folder but it still doesn't work. I pulled it out from C:\Windows\System32.
