Yes, that's the reason. I forgot that I still need to send the patch for the
registry settings. Basicly what you need to add is this:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{25E609E4-B259-11CF-BFC7-444553540000}]
@="Microsoft
DirectInput8"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{25E609E4-B259-11CF-BFC7-444553540000}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\windows\\system32\\dinput8.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"
