Microsoft is  specialist of backward incompatibility.
We have had the same problem with the Safir-X neurofuzzy lofgic software that makes use of MS components (DLL's).
New version of the MS OS  ( Service Packs) provided problems like this ,enforcing us to recompile the software and add some control on guilty MS DLL's versions.

Nothing to do with Omega Research, unless Bill Gates was a contributor to this list.
