 torbrowser-install-3.0-alpha-2_en-US.exe

 Sorry, but that build fails to start on Windows XP, with exactly the same
 error message popping-up as before: "The procedure entry point
 _vsnprintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll".

 Inspection of the binary (firefox.exe) using both Microsoft's Dependency
 Walker and a binary file editor, shows that it has not linked to
 msvcr100.dll at all, but still links to msvcrt.dll.
