Problem with SHELL32.DLL

[mrchidd]

Sorry for my English is very very bad >"<
Hello!
I'm creating Priston Tale Server on my VPS:
CPU: Intel Xeon E5645
4GB Ram
30GB HDD with 2 partions
OS: Windows Server 2k3 x64 Enterprise Editon.

When the setup is final, run Server.exe and Login.
On my server say error:

And the Questions:
1. What's the problem?
2. Can run Priston Tale server on VPS? (My friend said: Can't)

You can run the server on VPS.

There are additional considerations for running the server on NT5+ (Vista / Seven / 2008) and additional considerations on running on x64, as it does not (directly) support those systems.

I am aware that x64 prior to 2008 Server / Vista is very poor, and most well written 32-bit programs do not work well. The PT server is far from "as compatible" as a well written 32-bit program.

You should have either a 32-bit VPS (x86) with 2003, or an x64 (64-bit) 2008 server to reduce problems like this.

What it's saying is that the 32-bit virtual OS on 2003 does not support the API the PT server is trying to use. You could try grafting the x86 Shell32.dll from a 32-bit 2003 install into the SysWOW64 folder? But that's a major cheat that Microsoft and your host would not support, or thank you for doing.
