Hi Lukas, thanks for your quick response. Your hint seems to hit the bulls eye. I now installed the new version which is ~x86 and there is a progress. It now terminates with You must specify a key size (in bits) for use with CryptoAPI encryption. I know I should rtfm ;-) but at least #man losetup didn't come up with an appropriate option.
