I know the problem, but:
All those strings don't use numbered params for a reason:
* using the c-runtime only (e.g., TortoiseIDiff)
* numbering is not necessary, for example when the first %s is the error
message followed by a newline, then the 'real' message string follows
with only one param
* the strings are from the MFC resources, not changeable by us
* the string represent the version info: not really for translating and
the version numbering must not be changed in the translations (you don't
want to end up with 16.6.1 instead of 1.6.16)

For the others, I'll try to change them...

There are multiple tools in TSVN, all of which use separate resources
and can have identical resource ids.
