If works if you're an administrator or power user. Sure, we can file a
report, but if they bother to fix it, that will be for Visual Studio
2005 (if we're lucky, more likely for the next version after that). So
we can forget all about mingw then, since it uses an old version of the
runtime...
Though I doubt they'd fix it anyway, since their documentation alreadyu
tells you what to do to get around it.
