The program doesn't run on Windows XP with the error message - entry point RegGetValueW not found in advapi32.dll

The googling gives the solution: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/910a0e22-42bf-437d-8f5b-0162cc691f89/the-procedure-entry-point-reggetvaluea-could-not-be-located-in-advapi32dll?forum=vcgeneral

In short, RegGetValueW is only available in 64-bit version of advapi32.dll. They recommend using RegQueryValueEx instead.

hmm.. so, is the error specific to WinXP, or would it carry through to other 32bit versions of Windows? unclear from the information on that page.
