NPAPI plugin broken in Windows 8.1 #23

npvr.dll is unable to load because of missing dependencies. Dependency Walker lists the following DLLs as missing:

API-MS-WIN-CORE-KERNEL32-PRIVATE-L1-1-1.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-PRIVATEPROFILE-L1-1-1.DLL
API-MS-WIN-SERVICE-PRIVATE-L1-1-1.DLL
API-MS-WIN-CORE-SHUTDOWN-L1-1-1.DLL
EXT-MS-WIN-NTUSER-UICONTEXT-EXT-L1-1-0.DLL
IESHIMS.DLL

This seems to be a recent but common issue in Windows 8.1 (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-performance/32-bit-application-fails-to-start-after-81-upgrade/b825723e-e2a2-4c8f-bd1f-10446a5d7059).

I am currently trying to rebuild the .DLL using Visual Studio 2012 under Windows 8.1. Will report back.

Building from source works under Windows 8.1 using the instructions in the README; don't know if compatibility with version prior to Windows 8.1 is affected.

Can you send the dll you builded ?
