The output from Visual Studio is compatible with XP when you build with the XP-compatible toolchain.

i would prefer to do a prorgram targeted approach... and wrap around the MessageBox* function so the messagebox would never appear at all, and all required would be a change from user32.dll to userMy.dll where userMy.dll i would forward all functions to user32.dll minus the MessageBox ones...
altough its also possible to do by injecting a dll on the process and detouring... and even possible with a global hooking for dialog creation (using the MessageBox template), dont know programs for that
as usually i do more targeted than generic approaches... but imo its very easy to do

There is a registry entry in Windows XP that will automatically click on the default reply for a messagebox.

that logical appeals were more persuasive to people and emotional appeals were more persuasive to my compiler.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

- but then mine would surely hate me for the 'tone' of my 'appeals'.

Upsetting your compiler may not be the best thing to do

Deep insight on the plight of the programmer!

Yeah.
"C'mon, really???"
Would result in the compiler returning "OK, I'll try harder, sorry"

You've nailed it here.

When that happens I will finally admit that we have achieved true AI.

I have a new PC, wooohoo!
Also have ADSL2+ (I guess it's kind of ok but getting a bit behind the time, thanks Australia!)
And I have been downloading a small selection of my game library non stop since Wednesday!  
But I was getting almost there... But there was a promo code for my video card (which was a pain to redeem btw) but it eventually happened and I unlocked "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"
And then I went to download that..... 120 GB download! WTH! 
This take the crown as the most bloated download yet by far!

I thought the NBN fixed all of that?
Oh well, there's always Telstra, sure, decades behind the rest of the world
and primarily responsible for sabotaging any progress (NBN a case in point albeit with help from a few successive Labor govt's that for some reason the people thought were good.)
but they get there, ... sort of, ... well maybe eventually, ... in dreams.
(chin up, "Advance Australia Fair" and all that. Beautiful country, shame about the people.)

* "The Last Continent" - the late, great pTerry: Death held out a hand. I WANT, he said, A BOOK ABOUT THE DANGEROUS CREATURES OF FOURECKS-
Albert looked up and dived for cover, receiving only mild bruising because he had the foresight to curl into a ball.
After a while Death, his voice a little muffled, said: ALBERT, I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A HAND HERE.
Albert scrambled up and pulled at some of the huge volumes, finally dislodging enough of them for his master to clamber free.
HMM... Death picked up a book at random and read the cover. "DANGEROUS MAMMALS, REPTILES, AMPHIBIANS, BIRDS, FISH, JELLYFISH, INSECTS, SPIDERS, CRUSTACEANS, GRASSES, TREES, MOSSES, AND LICHENS OF TERROR INCOGNITA, " he read. His gaze moved down the spine. VOLUME 29C, he added. OH. PART THREE, I SEE.
He glanced up at the listening shelves. POSSIBLY IT WOULD BE SIMPLER IF I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE HARMLESS CREATURES OF THE AFORESAID CONTINENT?
They waited.
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT-
"No, wait master. Here it comes."
Albert pointed to something white zigzagging lazily through the air. Finally Death reached up an caught the single sheet of paper.
He read it carefully and then turned it over briefly just in case anything was written on the other side.
"May I?" said Albert. Death handed him the paper.
"'Some of the sheep, '" Albert read aloud.

don't mind about the animals trying to kill me, it's in their design.
people though, apart from not knowing which ones want to kill you also have to put up with the: annoying, obnoxious, thieves, con artists, stupid, noisy, 'fragrant', full of "good advice" ....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
short version: with animals, [killer or no], you know what you're getting.

This is not an abusive generalization, for sure

NBN deployment is still... work in progress!

Nearly 12 hours after the original post, and nobody's going to comment about the 120GB download?
At that size, a game really ought to come on its own hard drive. How many people can't even download that in a month?

I could download it overnight, while I slept - but that's still a silly size for a game!

12 hours later... 70 GB remaining (about 50 GB during the 9 hours nights)
Should be ready by Monday evening! ^^

At my speed, the next version of Call of Duty would be out by the time the download was done...
