The information in this article applies to:

The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) included with: Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to run an MFC 4.0 application under Windows NT version 3.5 generates the following error message:

   The procedure entry point GetProcessVersion could not be located in
   the dynamic link library KERNEL32.DLL.

Followed by:

   The application failed to initialize properly [0x0000139], click OK
   to terminate application.

CAUSE

MFC 4.0 is not compatible with Windows NT 3.5. There were many new features added to this version of MFC that require operating system support capabilities that do not exist in Windows NT 3.5. This includes, but is not limited to, the new Win32 common controls that are now used as an integral part of the Microsoft Foundation Classes.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
