I compiled my application on Linux via MinGW (32-bit). My application runs as expected on Windows XP (SP2 & SP3, 32-bit OS), but it fails on Windows 7 (SP1, 64-bit OS). It throws this message:

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application

How to solve this?

windows-7
mingw32

Use Dependency Walker to trace which DLL is missing. Load the Exe in depends and press F7 to start the profiler.

After you get the error message you should see missing DLLs shown in Depends.exe.
