This is a plausible cause. Thanks for the explanation.

I sincerely hope that subsequent release candidates and release versions 
are usable also on even older Windows versions such as Windows 2000. 
Similar things might hold for other operating systems.
BTW: What's the point of creating a compiler but not using it? :-)
IMHO published versions of the compiler should have been compiled with 
itself.

Best regards
