Thread: The procedure entry point could not be located in ADVAPI32.dll

Hi all,

I have wrote a registry object for opening, editing, querying and deleting registry values. When I run the program I get the following error (a message box appears):

"The procedure entry point RegDeleteKeyExA could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll"

Now I get this error even if I comment out the line that uses RegDeleteKeyEx. So nowhere in my code do I call RegDeleteKeyEx.

The program compiles and links fine, it is just a runtime error. Even if my program is just the following:

Code:

int main()
{
return 0 ;
}

So I dont actually use the registry object I still get the error popup box.

I thought at first it might be a dodgy install of windows but it does the same on all windows pc's i've tried.

My compiler is Visual Studio 2005 running on windows xp pro. I am not linking to any other libraries or including any additional header files (just windows.h)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply!

I dont have the code with me at the moment to test. However I do know im using a static member functions (for querying values and checking if keys exist) in the object which do use some of the winapi reg functions. So im guessing it'll be this.
