Is it only a warning, does it continue to run?

Warning + can't run.

Is there an error number along with it?
Can you provide the full error/warning so we can google search for it?

I found this which looks similar and may help:

 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812486

No any error number, a dialog says vim is not a valid Win32 application, after close the dialog, nothing happens. Attach is the shot.

It's probably due to a linker flag that was used to construct the executable's header. It may be possible to override the VS2010 linker flags in a way that will make Windows 2000 happy, but that will require some research.
