After uninstalling and removing a previous version and removing the directory under "program files" on an XP box, then installing the latest nightly from [https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/wi ... 1003-0302/], I get the "entry point _time32 could not be located in ... msvcrt.dll" error when I attempt to launch the program. This did not happen with the old (2.2.6) version.
"Dependency Walker" shows c:\windows\system32\msvcrt.dll to have an entry point for _time64, but not for _time32.
What steps are required to run a VLC nightly build on XP Home 2002 SP3?
entry point _time32 could not be located in msvcrt.dll

That means we did a mistake in the toolchain. Do you see any other missing symbols in Dependency Walker?
