[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-6281) [VM] JVM fails to start on Windows 2000 Server unable to find harmonyvm/hyluni

["Gregory Shimansky (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6281?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12733647#action_12733647 ] 

Gregory Shimansky commented on HARMONY-6281:
--------------------------------------------

Windows 2000 doesn't have function AddVectoredExceptionHandler which appeared only in XP. This is most likely the cause of the problem. Launcher cannot load VM DLL since it fails to find some symbols in it and therefore cannot link it properly.

This problem was discussed on the mail list and it was decided that too much has to be changed in VM to switch from modern XP vectored exceptions to older structured exceptions, so most likely this won't be fixed especially since windows 2000 is quite old and isn't supported any more.
