When I test on Windows Vista, it will be a different platform. When I test on Windows 8, it will be another platform. The problem is very easy to duplicate. Here are the steps. I imagine anyone with a good testing environment already has the first eight steps.
I can post the MCVE, which is an empty source file, to appease some folks. It seems like a waste of time since the problem is with the toolchain and not the source file. Is an empty main really crucial to this problem?
I know the origin of the error. The changes look like so:. They were complaining about deprecated functions and causing dirty compiles. I audited the code to ensure we are not unintentionally or incorrectly setting the values.
I verified we do it in one place, and the code path is not activated because Microsoft's toolchain is setting the value to 0x :. VS uses the Windows 8. For a Windows desktop app aka classic Win32 , you should explicitly set which version of the OS you support as part of your build configuration. Typically this is done in a pch. See this post for some notes about the differences.
See Using the Windows Headers and this blog article. I then provide multiple builds of my static libraries for each supported platform. As such, you can't have a runtime selection and must reference only the supported APIs in the "Windows 8" builds. For desktop builds, the correct solution is to either use the lowest common denominator or to choose the code path at runtime. Otherwise you would need to build different desktop executables for different versions of Windows. In this particular case, since you are not using the additional functionality that is provided by GetOverlappedResultEx , it would probably be more sensible to stick with GetOverlappedResult for desktop builds.
To the best of my knowledge there is no really elegant way to make the build output depend on the version of Windows that the build tools are running on - you will note that none of the predefined macros for either the compiler or the build environment allow you to determine the operating system version. However, if this really is one of those rare cases where it is appropriate, you could do this by using a pre-build event or custom build step to run a program that checks the operating system version and constructs a header file which your code could include.
If other Windows developers will be building your library, I wouldn't recommend it, because they will not be expecting this behaviour; but it is available if you need it. The minimum platform required is Windows 8. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.

Now when you check the name of the owner by clicking on Start and typing winver into the Search Programs And Files box, your new name should appear instead of the old one. Keep in mind that this trick is cosmetic only; it does not change the actual owner of the Windows license in the legal sense.
It also does not change the licensing relationship you or anyone else has with Microsoft. It is, however, a way that you can take ownership of a computer purchased second hand or change the name of the owner to something other than what the original manufacturer entered when Windows was first loaded onto the computer. This trick is particularly useful when a name changes because of a marriage.
A woman who changes her name after marriage can update the owner of the machine to reflect her new name. Founder of Help Desk Geek and managing editor.
