I recently wrote a windows program an debuggged it, but rather than it loading it threw an exception with the following message: The procedure enry point RegDeleteExW could be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll. I verified that I had #included windows.h and that the ADVAPI32.lib was was linked. Please how can I resolve this problem?

There is no such function; are you confusing this with RegDeleteKeyEx[^]?

I think this is the answer. The method he's trying to use doesn't exist in the windows API.

Solution 1

Did you use LoadLibrary?

C++

HMODULE hMod = LoadLibrary("advapi32.dll");
if(hMod == NULL)
     printf("LoadLibrary() failed.\t[advapi32.dll]");

Use PRE tags to format code part - It makes the question/answer readable.

Solution 3

check your modules by the ms-tool depends.exe. this will show you all external dependencies and the missing dlls/exports.
