mpiexec not working on windows XP? We got a patch.

Overview

This update fixes an issue where the HPC Pack 2008 SDK was attempting to use a function that was not available on olders versions of Windows, such as 32-bit Windows XP. If you encounter the error "The procedure entry point GetProcessIdOfThread could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" when attempting to run an application that you've built using the HPC Pack 2008 SDK then you should apply this fix and recompile your application.
