DOS ain't dead - Running on Windows XP SP3 x86

Running on Windows XP SP3 x86 (Announce)

In contrast to the previous version new Bochs doesn't run on Windows XP anymore by default. But you can "hack" it.

At first, use 7-Zip to extract Bochs-win32-2.6.11.exe.
Then use your favourite hex/binary editor to patch the PE header fields for OS Version and Subsystem Version from 6 to 5. (Operating System Version)

File offsets:
Filename | OS | Subsystem -------------+--------+---------- bochs.exe | 0x128 | 0x130 bochsdbg.exe | 0x128 | 0x130 bxhub.exe | 0x118 | 0x120 bximage.exe | 0x118 | 0x120 niclist.exe | 0x118 | 0x120

I already filed a bug report.
