Description
5.10.0 will not run on NT4 - it gives the error message "GetLongPathNameW could not be found in kernel32.dll".
It looks like 5.10 was built using VC2005; NT4 is not a supported platform of VC2005 and MSVCR80.DLL is not compatible with NT4.
Is support for NT4 being dropped from 5.10?

Message from Rom Walton:
We are dropping support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 in the 5.10 release and future releases.
Basically Microsoft dropped support for both OS’s when they developed Visual Studio 2005 and so the C Runtime Library no longer works on both Win95 and WinNT40. We need the C Runtime Library to handle things like file and memory management.
For anybody using Win95 or WinNT40 you should be able to continue using 5.8.
