Converting a DWORD without CRT, implementing custom sprintf() function

Question

Background:

My application ships without a CRT as it MUST be portable and small.

Problem:

When I run my application on a Virtual Machine for Windows XP, my CreateProcess() function fails, I need to display the GetLastError() DWORD in a MessageBox() without using any of the CRT,

How can I manually implement sprintf() function in my program to convert the DWORD type to a char buffer to display in the MessageBox() function to get the error type, so I can therefore fix the problem.

I have implemented my own memset() function like so

extern "C" void * __cdecl memset(void *, int, size_t);


#pragma function(memset)
void * __cdecl memset(void *pTarget, int value, size_t cbTarget) {
unsigned char *p = static_cast<unsigned char *>(pTarget);
while (cbTarget-- > 0) {
    *p++ = static_cast<unsigned char>(value);
}
return pTarget;
}

I am unsure of how to implement a custom sprintf() function

Thank you

If speed is not what you'd concern, you can use RtlMoveMemory and wsprintf supplied by kernel32.dll for memcpy(memmove) and sprintf (Not actually THAT slow, just cannot do link time optimization).

wsprintf is available in Windows, event without a CRT. Just #include windows.h
