Dear Ben

You new 0.8 version features a new, 40% bigger Excelsi-R.dll that unfortunately intriduced an important regression: the WindowsXP doesn't seem to be supported anymore. Calling any exported function raises

I understand that this Windows it is already "not supported" by its owner, but nevertheless I (and other folks that still are forced to use VB6 from time to time) use it.

Do you have any idea, what might have brought the incompatibilities, and whether it is possible for you to rever them?

I suspect the problem arose when you ported the code to the Visual Studio 2015 (Community). It might be a problem with the DllMain function. Installing current vc_redist.x86.exe doesn't help.

Can you, as a person who actually commited the recent changes, might share your perspective on this?

I can send you a minimal test case to reproduce the problem, but it will require Windows XP (I use it under VirtualBox on Linux).
