You will need to create a manifest file for exw.exe. Create a file 
Exw.exe.manifest and put something like this in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
     name="RDS.Euphoria.Interpreter"
     processorArchitecture="x86"
     version="2.4.0.0"
     type="win32"/>
<description>Euphoria Windows Interpreter</description>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="x86"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>

------------------
   Be aware, though, that there are several drawing bugs, which appear to be 
caused by Windows. There are work-arounds on the net, but we'll need some 
changes to Win32lib to do this. For example, radio and check buttons seem to 
have a black border around them when they are part of a group box. Some 
combo boxes may have this problem with the dropdown box. There are some 
other things, as well. It would, in fact, be better to leave your 
application as a 9x looking app, until MS gives us some code that works 
(when will that happen?!).
    You could possibly use some of the UxTheme functions, but this would 
take a fair bit of work. I think it's safe to say that that's on the 
back-burner, since Derek still hasn't released the newest version (which he 
promised to do oh-so-many months ago). I was going to do some work on the 
UxTheme stuff myself, but I was waiting for a new-and-improved Win32lib (not 
so many resource leaks, perhaps). Any time soon for that release, Derek?
