Converting a C6 app to C11 and the C11 convertor is seeing the Win32 API's declared in the global embeds as app files.

In the screenshot you can see its not recognising this api.  
[VerifyVersionInfoA function (winbase.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-verifyversioninfoa)

Any suggestions how I can stop this change or how I should proceed with this?

TIA

The record for the VerifyVersionInfo function was moved to WIN32.LIB in C10. Earlier it was in Win32Ext.LIB. Sounds, you need to update your WIN32.LIB accessed by redirection.

I’ll check the redir file out as C11 was installed from scratch on a new machine, so there’s nothing I could change or mess up unless it was messed up in the C6 app.
