The DRLVM release notes say that you need VS
.Net 2003 or VC 7 and higher and the corresponding Platform SDK to compile. I am not even sure that these run on W2000. The way to start to identify this would be to try and build the sources on a W2K box with the highest level of compiler available ( VC 6 or VC 7 ) and the SDK, and see what breaks in the current code. This also impacts not yet committed code. Broadly, 1) there are changes in thread/fiber api's. For example, GetProcessId, GetThreadId, GetProcessHandleCount , RestoreLastError etc. are common, efficient api's not present on 2000. I am sure that the DRLVM code has plenty of these. Others could be GetThreadIOPendingFlag, Set/Get ProcessWorkingSetSizeEx etc. which I don't know if DRLVM uses. There is no use of fibers in DRLVM code. 2) Exceptions: W2K and below support SEH and not Vectored Exceptions which DRLVM uses. 3)File system: Get/Set DllDirectory, SetFileShortName, ReOpenFile, GetSystemWOW64Directory are likely api's that drlvm *AND* pending submissions use. Not present in 2k 4) Memory and System Info: Use of low fragmentation heaps, GetNativeSystemInfo, GetLogicalProcessorInformation, GetLargePageMinimum etc. etc. I don't even think that support for large pages and low frag heap exists in 2k 5) Debug apis: Some basic changes on how to set debug breaks, remote debugging and just tin time debugging need to be checked out for both exising AND pending code. debughelp.dll and SymServ.dll to help with symbol alignment( we hit this ) is not available on 2k. I don't know if we use the newer error reporting api's like ReportFault, ERExcludedApplication etc 6) Advapi32.dll is used everyewhere and quite radically changed from W2K 7) Many UI api's that I don't really know
