I created an executable on Win7 with racket 5.1.2.3 following the
indicated steps and using the given code (I had to comment out some
stuff because I dont have the required files), and I was able to run
it on win xp (sp2) as well. So I guess the problem may be in the
required files or might I suggest trying one of the nightly builds?
