It seems we have to use SetErrorMode() with SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS in order to 
avoid this dialog to appear:

I can't reproduce the error though, so I can't tell whether using 
SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS might actually fix this or not.

I tried it again later and it worked without problem. I noticed I had connected 
Nexus One phone when this problem occurred. When it's not mounted it shows up 
as empty removable drive.
