Out of curiosity, were you using the same Visual C++ build environment 
on XP and on Windows 7?  If not, maybe it would be possible to install 
the old Visual C++ environment on the Windows 7 host?

Microsoft support for XP will end August 4, 2014, so we have to support 
this OS/x2goclient combination for a little more than two years - somehow.
