It is not necessarily a bug. Not all buildbots are configured with Windows SDK 7.1.

Currently only Tinderboxes #39 and #42 are compiling x86 binaries from the Master branch. #51, #62 and 62-merge-TDF are not working. I can test the build from #42 tomorrow (since the one reported by the user is from #39)

How is QA (and users) supposed to know which Windows version each Tinderbox is building for? Would it be possible to include this information on the "Build Target OS" column in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Tinderbox ?

only the Windows32bit-TDF boxes (i.e. #62) compile with Win XP compatibility, so not working with the other dailies is expected/works for me. 

As it is en-US only build shows that it's not from the 32bit TDF box → please use

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@62-merge-TDF/current/

As the box is also used to do the actual release builds, and also builds the 5-1 and 5-0 branches it doesn't build master daily, but hopefully often enough...

Thanks Cloph, this build works in XP.
