Agree with Scott. The only thing I would add is, in relation to your original post, C is not a scripting language, it is a coding (programming) language. This implies that your in-house process is hard-coded, which makes it a bit more likely that it would require re-coding to work with a new version of Windows.

As I'm not familiar with the Win API, I can't suggest anything more specific, but whoever coded the processing can probably fix it for Win 7. Pass them as much detail as you can of how it's failing: it's their problem, as they own the code. Your leverage here is that XP is to go out of support next year.
