My program uses LocalAlloc and LocalFree, but it reports an error on Windows 7 indicating that api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll is missing.
I found information about LocalAlloc and LocalFree in this link (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/win32-and-com/win32-apis), which states that they were introduced in Windows SDK 10.0.14393. However, even after installing 10.0.14393, I still can't find the API library "api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll" in the directory. Where can I find the DLL I need?
thank you very much!
I have also downloaded this library from many third-party websites, such as dll-file dllopen dllme.., but they all lack the entry points for LocalAlloc and LocalFree, resulting in another error message: "The procedure entry point LocalAlloc could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll."
That's why I'm here seeking help. Thank you.
The info in this topic that you provided applies to all versions of Windows 10, and later. As far as I'm concerned, it is not applied to windows 7.
And support for Windows 7 has ended. I suggest you could try to update your system.
You don't need any DLL for LocalAlloc/LocalFree in a C++/WinUI3 or Win32 app, which are old Kernel APIs since XP
