I added some code in the installer to detect the windows version; the main
reason was that Windows2000 requires a different installation of the runtime
libs than WinXP (and Vista). Recognized windows versions are 5.0 (Win2K),
5.1 (WinXP) and 6.x (Vista). What's the content of the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion?
