No, that version of Windows should be fine. You don't need to copy any
Synchronet DLL other than sbbsexec.dll to the Windows/System32 directory. You
should delete that one just to avoid future problems.

Anyway... as for the problem at hand: please try a a "release" build of the
DLLs and see if you get the same error. If you do not get the error with the
release DLLs (built by yourself), then I can probably get a copy of
sbbsctrl.exe to you that will work with the debug DLLs (which is what you
realliy want to run with).

But... there are alternatives to sbbsctrl.exe, like sbbs.exe and
sbbsNTsvcs.exe. Have you tried those (built by yourself)?
