Have you got the OCAMLLIB environment set and pointing to your old 4.00.1 installation lib directory? Looks like its picking up the wrong pervasives.cmi. It's probably trying to show Cmi_format.Error(Cmi_format.Wrong_version_interface("%OCAMLIB%\pervasives.cmi", "an older")) but you can't install an exception printer if you can't start ocaml!
