Q: 

ILClone on Windows 2000

Does anyone know of any issues with the ILClone() function on Windows 2000? Is it fully supported? MSDN says it runs on Windows 2000 but I have a user reporting that my program will not run on Windows 2000 because of that function.

EDIT: I was able to get a hold of a Win2K system and I can confirm the issue.

Shell32.dll version installed is 5.0.3700.6705. The error message shown when running the program is: The procedure entry point ILClone could not be located in the dynamic link library SHELL32.DLL

A: 

iirc ILClone was available on Windows 5, but it was exported from shlwapi.dll, so you had to load it using LoadLibrary & GetProcAddress() to be compatible.

Sweet. I'll try this and let you know how it goes.

Tried GetProcAddress() on a loaded shlwapi.dll, and also on a loaded shell32.dll, but neither worked. GetProcAddress(lib, "ILClone") returns NULL.

Apparently these functions were originally exported by ordinal.That said, while ILClone is convenient, its an easy function to write.
