In summary: - the JVM requires the dll - this is a JVM bug (Sun do not agree) - the best place to hack around this is when the jvm.dll is loaded (ie the daemon project) - a nice summary and all the pointers needed to fix this are here http://www.duckware.com/tech/java6msvcr71.html - There is a daemon issue for this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-110 - Someone with C skills (not me - mine are terrible) needs to write a patch. Anyone takers?
