windows-xp-afterlife's Issues

qt5core.dll

We can't start software that was created with Qt. Some reasons inside qt5core.dll:

CancelIoEx - Windows XP reports about this function when I tried to launch exe. Use CancelIO.
CompareStringEx
GetFileInformationByHandleEx - maybe you may just drop this call.
GetTickCount64 - 64-bit? Looks like useless for some software. Maybe you may just drop this call.
GetUserPreferredUILanguages - Retrieves information about the display language setting. For more information, see [User Interface Language Management](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/Intl/user-interface-language-management). I'm sure we can close in comments it.
RaiseFailFastException

I still do not plan to change call below:

MSVCRT.dll
_wgetenv_s

shell32.dll
SHCreateItemFromParsingName
SHGetKnownFolderPath
