Is there a plan for the Prof-UIS library to support Windows 7, and if so, what is the time table on that support?

At this moment we tested only release versions of Prof-UIS sample applications on Windows 7 and they are working exactly in the same way like they do on Windows Vista. We used Windows 7 without any Visual Studio versions installed on it and without any other software installed on it. The sample applications with the statically linked Prof-UIS are simply running on Windows 7 without any problems. The sample applications compiled with Prof-UIS as DLL are also running without any problems if the Prof-UIS DLL is available on the same computer.
At this moment we are trying to find the most correct way to solve the "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)" problem when running the Prof-UIS based applications on Windows 7 under the following conditions:

1) The message box with this error message appears on the Windows 7 screen when we run the release version of the Prof-UIS based application which is based on Prof-UIS as DLL and there is no required DLL of the Prof-UIS library is present on the Windows 7 computer.

2) This error occurs on Windows 7 when running any debug version of Prof-UIS / DLL based application even if all the Prof-UIS / MFC / Visual C++ run time libraries are copied into the same folder with the Prof-UIS / DLL based application.

Please note, we have used the clean Windows 7 OS. We didn’t installed any Visual Studio on it. We didn’t installed any other software on it. We just copied Prof-UIS sample applications and run it. So, we can assume Prof-UIS 2.84 and 2.85 versions are 95% compatible with the Windows 7 OS. They will be exactly 100% compatible only after the official release of the Windows 7 which can differ from any beta and release candidate versions. In conclusion, the current version of the manifest resource embedded into all the Prof-UIS sample applications and all the applications generated with the Prof-UIS Application Wizard is enough to run on Windows 7 desktop. But we cannot be 100% that it’s will be enough to run on the release version of Windows 7.
