Visual Studio .NET isn't supported, in any version. It's copiler links 
to the "wrong" runtime (msvcr71.dll instead of msvcrt.dll) and there is 
no way to change that short of patching the compiler binaries with a hex 
editor.

This is an upcoming issue which I must deal with somehow. At the moment, 
noone can upgrade to VC 7 easily. Those who do must build their own 
binaries. I still don't know what to do about this. Stay tuned, I'll 
post a separate message and explain the matters in more detail in the 
near future.

If you want to use that compiler now, you will have to recompile 
everything. Iconv, zlib, libxml, everything. This has nothing to do with 
the error you get above, but you are advised to go that way because 
you'll have crashes otherwise. Your problem will likely dissapear then 
as well.

Ciao,
Igor
