I use win2K. What I have included was the solution who to solve this
incompatibility.

I don't know. It's more something for Mojca's team of binary magicians.
I don't know how long one can expect the latest greatest binaries to run
old versions of operating systems but maybe it makes sense to update to
windows 8 (still pretty cheap this month).

The Mojca's team of binary magicians boils down to a certain Japanese
physicist when it comes down to Windows. You would have to ask him.
Citing from TL documentation: "As to Windows: Windows XP and later are
supported. Windows 2000 will probably still mostly work." I was trying
to find out which versions of Windows are supported in MikTeX because
MikTeX was somehow drastic about dropping support for older windows,
but I don't find that information on the new website.
My personal opinion: if there is a trivial change needed that can make
someone's life easier, why not. But I wouldn't bother with dirty hacks
to support Windows 2000. However, it's not me that's building the
binaries.
