Re: Error: Initializing USER32.dll


Sometimes problems loading DLLs are due to missing symbols or mismatched DLL,
DLL/EXE versions.  One way to see if this is the case is to use Dependency
Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/).  It will show you if an executable
cannot find a DLL, or if a required entry point in a DLL is missing.

Also, what path is being used for inetd?  For debugging purposes, I wonder if
you could wrap inetd in a script to "echo %PATH% > tmpFile" before running
inetd?
