Win32 console application reported as invalid on Windows 2000 compiled under VS2010 and having version resource

Really starnge problem. I have compiled TJWS server launcher under VS 2010 and added version resource. Now Windows 2000 reports it as invalid win32 exe, although newer versions of Windows run it fine. What problem can be?
