Solved after install of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update.
BTW, did you switch to Visual Studio 2005 ?

Yes, I did. Since January 2016 (ILPer v2.1) the regular distributions with source code contain binaries compiled with Visual Studio 2005. Visual Studio 2005 is the last compiler supporting Win9x (Win95/98/Me) and NT4.0 and more important for me, supporting the IPv6 protocol. To run MFC programs compiled with Visual Studio 2005 you need the latest Visual Studio 2005 runtime installed.

When you're not able to install the VS2005 runtime for some reasons the actual MSVC6 binaries are still available at http://hp.giesselink.com/HPIL/ILProgsIPv4.zip.

BTW, for some years now, in all my emulator distributions the binaries are compiled with Visual Studio 2005. The main reason for this, the compiled binaries are faster than compiled with MSVC6 because of better code optimization.
