Answer 2

The error occurs because an application or SDK is calling a function (GetProcessIdOfThread) that does not exist in the version of KERNEL32.dll on a 32-bit Windows XP system. This is a known issue with the Windows HPC Server 2008 SDK on 32-bit Windows XP.

To resolve this specific problem for Windows HPC Server 2008 SDK on 32-bit Windows XP:

1. Obtain and install the hotfix for Windows HPC Server 2008 SDK that addresses the missing GetProcessIdOfThread entry point in KERNEL32.dll.
2. Restart the computer after applying the hotfix, as a restart is required.

This hotfix is intended only for systems experiencing this exact issue. If the hotfix is not directly available for download, a request must be submitted to Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain it.
