My application which is made in windows7 using VC++, makes error in the windows XP environment as follows:

"Procedure Entry Point error : cannot find the inet_ntop DLL in the WS2_32.dll"

In my long code of above, I use visual studio 2015 and use many new types of dll like as inet_ntop instead of inet_ntoa, etc.

Thank in advance.

What I have tried:

This is my very serious problem for the confirmation of 6 month project.

If you are targeting XP you have to target Framework 3.5. This could be the problem...

The inet_ntop function (which is another name for the ANSI function InetNtopA) is not available with XP. See InetNtop function (Windows)[^]:

When targeting Windows XP you should set the _WIN32_WINNT macro to 0x0501. Then you will get a compiler error when using unsupported functions.
