I should also mention that I built Vim with MinGW, WINVER was set to 0x0500. uninstal.c was built fine but the executable won't run on 32-bit Windows XP. The "RegDeleteKeyExA entry point not found in ADVAPI32.DLL" error will be reported as mentioned above, and "uninstal.exe" would abort without doing anything.
