solved.
remove the line 96 and 99 in file win32-dlfcn.cc (in the ffi source files)

    errorMode = GetErrorMode();

    SetErrorMode(errorMode | SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS);

the error is gone. but i dont know why.only windows xp have this problem.

没人解决吗？自己跟了下代码发现在node-ffi的源码中

  Local<Object> o = Nan::New<Object>();
  o->Set(Nan::New<String>("dlopen").ToLocalChecked(),  WrapPointer((char *)dlopen));
这里报错，WrapPointer最终调用的是v8的ArrayBuffer::New，是这里出错。

测试代码：
char* data="hello"
ArrayBuffer::New( v8::Isolate::GetCurrent(), data,0,ArrayBufferCreationMode::kInternalized);
如果data是函数指针，则报错。

Hello, we are trying to set up a XP environment. Before that, is FFI working well in Win7?

working well on windows 10.

I was able to build a C native module using node-gyp with 0.13-beta6 in Linux (which would probably be similar in Windows, haven't tried yet). It might be worth looking into.

@coonooo VS2013 doesn't support XP. How would you managed to build node-ffi on XP?

@ghostoy i just compile node-ffi use vs2013.it work well on xp sp3. I haven't test on other version.
before build try replace <PlatformToolset>v120</PlatformToolset> with <PlatformToolset>v120_xp</PlatformToolset> in the vcxproj file after nw-gyp configure.

@coonooo Are you building on newer OS (like Win7) with VS2013 and targeting for XP? I just tried to install VS2013 on XP, but failed because of incompatibility.

ghostoy on 24 Feb 2016

@ghostoy yes.I building on windows 10 with vs2013.

@coonooo node-ffi doesn't work with Node.js on XP as well. I recommend you to submit the issue to node-ffi

请问一下，这个问题最终解决了吗？是需要修改ffi的源码吗？英文不好没看太明白，请指点指点，非常感谢！
