SYMPTOMS
An attempt to run an MFC 4.0 application under Windows NT version 3.5 generates the following error message:

The procedure entry point GetProcessVersion could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL.

Followed by:

The application failed to initialize properly [0x0000139], click OK to terminate application.



CAUSE
MFC 4.0 is not compatible with Windows NT 3.5. There were many new features added to this version of MFC that require operating system support capabilities that do not exist in Windows NT 3.5. This includes, but is not limited to, the new Win32 common controls that are now used as an integral part of the Microsoft Foundation Classes.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
