Windows failed to initialize

I don't know if this helps, but I also get that error message with my 
standalones, but only if I use Resource Hacker to remove the extra 
spaces in the version information of the standalone.  Once make the 
changes, the standalone throws that message.

Additionally, I noticed in the standalone resources that there is an 
item called "24" which was never there previously.  It's contents contain:

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" 
manifestVersion="1.0"><dependency><dependentAssembly><assemblyIdentity 
type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" 
processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" 
language="*"></assemblyIdentity></dependentAssembly></dependency></assembly>
