I've tried the x86 version on Win XP, but no success (it causes an 
exception with something like kernel32.dll and then libusb-1.0.dll)
Have you compiled it on Windows 7 amd64? or how did you compile it?
Also the location of the .mo files is not correct, for example the file 
nl.mo should be installed as
Program Files\Usbpicprog\po\nl\LC_MESSAGES\usbpicprog.mo
in stead of just po\nl.mo
