#17 The application failed to initialize properly

In some environment, launching prw2.exe results the
following error:
"The application failed to initialize properly. Error
0xc0000022. Click OK
to terminate the application."

One possibility is missing redistributable DLLs like
MFC42.DLL and MSVCP60.DLL, but I'm not sure yet.

Missing dlls give a quite different error. More likely
the problem is permissions, maybe in the registry.

or maybe a consequence of the low-level library actions
needing more permissions?

Thanks, guys. Probably it is not missing.

In any cases, the error seemed to occur at a very early stage
of the execution. Although we tried "-c" option, which means
to use specified .ini file instead of the registry and should pop
up a dialog for confirmation after only a few (almost none)
operations, the same error occured before we saw the dialog.

So, I suspected the error occured even before jumping into
the main function, perhaps DLL problems. Some Web site said
it could happen when some DLLs in system32 didn't have
read+executable permission. Unfortunately I can't try it
myself since I'm not using NTFS.
