0.17.7461_x86 LoadLibraryExA ... PartGui.pyd not found on Vista

I downoaded and un7zip https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... dev_win.7z

OS: Windows Vista
Word size of OS: 32-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 32-bit
Version: 0.17.7461 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: a38a78f6d6bd319a916ca8de87527e6d62137ec3
Python version: 2.7.8
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 6.8.0.oce-0.17

profiled with Dependency Walker I got :
LoadLibraryExA("e:\temp\freecad_0.17.7461_x86_dev_win\freecad_0.17.7461_x86_dev_win\Mod\Part\PartGui.pyd", 0x00000000, LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH) returned NULL. Error: No se encontró el proceso especificado (127).

No se encontró el proceso especificado -->> Specified process not found

Dep Walker also reports
CGGL
LIBCGGL
LIBCGGL.DYLIB
LIBCGGL.SO
as "file not found"

It is worth mentioning this was not happening at all with 0.17.6726

Can you look at the comments here? It sounds similar to your problems.

Thank you for your attention.
I have carefully checked the comments and although my issue may fall into the general category of "binary incompatible" ... i do not think it could be labelled as "same problem"
It was not happenning with 0.17.6726 and I do not have any TK* in windows/system or windows/system32.

Thanks for checking. The key here is that the last working build for you was compiled with VS2009/VC8. The non-working builds are compiled with VS2013/VC12 which should support Vista. I'll look into a custom installer for x86 VC12 from current FreeCAD master. No promises here, I don't see what it would change

This wouldn't be limited to TK*, any c++ .dll could cause the problem.

Thank you sgrogan I think you found the key
What tests could I do ?
I will, of course, make sure vs2013/vc12 is rightfully installed then I will report what happens

Slightly changing subject I'd mention that although there is no error or issue that I could trace from Freecad not finding CGGL LIBCGGL LIBCGGL.DYLIB and LIBCGGL.SO ... the fact that a windows app tries to load a LIBCGGL.SO file would make me have a quick look at the code
