That's weird.  Searching for VectoredHandler or PVECTORED_EXCEPTION_HANDLER
I can only find two articles, both stating that this functionality is
only available on XP and 2003:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/vectoredhandler.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/addvectoredexceptionhandler.asp

So I'm wondering where you got that information.
