Description:
E:\meb-3.1-windows-x86-32bit>ibbackup.exe
The system cannot execute the specified program.

According to dependency walker, the following files are missing from my system.

MSVCR90.DLL
WINHTTP.DLL
GDIPLUS.DLL
DWMAPI.DLL

On same system, mysqld from 5.1.48 works just fine..

How to repeat:
download any of these and run the extracted binary on windows 2003 standard.

1915329.meb-3.5-windows-x86-32bit.zip
1928208.meb-3.1-windows-x86-32bit.zip
1915331.meb-3.5-windows-x86-32bit.msi

Suggested fix:
install the needed runtime dependencies in a supported way, or link them statically when building?

The fix which statically links the DLL (similar to mysqld) has been reviewed and approved.
