Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 577486

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

As given by bug 578223 comment 1 we don't want to drop Windows 2000 support but starting with the nightly builds from July 08th, trunk builds do not run anymore on Windows 2000. This regression has been found by our Mozmill tests.

I haven't seen any announcement for that change, so I file that as a new bug for now.

Once you try to reopen Firefox the following error message appears:

The procedure entry point RtlCaptureContext could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.

Given the changeset ids this is the regression range:

I cannot find a bug right away which could be the reason for this problem.
