SYMPTOMS
An attempt to run an MFC 4.0 application under Windows NT version 3.5
generates the following error message:
The procedure entry point GetProcessVersion could not be located in
the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL.
Followed by:
The application failed to initialize properly [0x0000139], click OK
to terminate application.
CAUSE
MFC 4.0 is not compatible with Windows NT 3.5. There were many new features
added to this version of MFC that require operating system support
capabilities that do not exist in Windows NT 3.5. This includes, but is not
limited to, the new Win32 common controls that are now used as an integral
part of the Microsoft Foundation Classes.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
