I am attempting to install pykd 0.3.x on my XP machine. I installed the latest pykd using:
```
pip install pykd
```
I attempted to import pykd, but received the following error:
```
>>> import pykd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pykd\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from pykd import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
```
I then attempted to load the pykd.pyd using ctypes and received an error:
```
>>> import ctypes
>>> ctypes.CDLL('pykd.pyd')
```
Error:
```
The procedure entry point InitializeCriticalSectionEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll
```
A quick search led me to the following:

Not sure if that's the problem though.
Thanks in advance for looking into this!

I was able to successfully import pykd in WinXP. However, I ran into the sample problem with the bootstrapper pykd.dll. Can you rebuild the bootstrapper as well?
Thanks!
