GetLocalPathName could not be located in Kernel32.dll

I have C++ .NET mixed (managed/unmanaged) application.
I build it under W2K and it works fine.

However when I tried to run it under NT 4.0 I've got the
following error message: The procedure entry point
GetLocalPathName could not be located in the dynamic link
library Kernel32.dll"

Apparently this function is not implemented in Windows NT 4.

I've found the following note in the description of
the GetLongPathName function at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/get
longpathname.asp


"Windows NT and Windows 95:  Include an additional header file
called NewAPIs.h to make GetLongPathName available on these operating
systems. The function is not implemented natively, but by a wrapper
that utilizes other native functions on these systems. See the header
file for details of the use of preprocessor directives that make the
function available. If you do not have this header file, it can be
obtained by downloading the most recent SDK from the SDK Update Site."

So I've added the following lines to my code:

#define COMPILE_NEWAPIS_STUBS
#define WANT_GETLONGPATHNAME_WRAPPER
#include "NewAPIs.h"

But now I am getting the following error during compilation:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\NewAPIs.h(325) :
error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'BOOL (__stdcall
*)(LPCTSTR,LPTSTR,DWORD)' to
'DWORD (__stdcall *)(LPCTSTR,LPTSTR,DWORD)'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or
function-style cast

Can anyone advise how can I resolve this issue. On one hand the app doesn't
run under NT 4, on another hand the Microsoft suggested solution doesn't
compile under W2K?

Thanks

It sounds like newapis.h was developed prior to VC 7.1 or 7.0; I would
try modifying newapis.h at line 325 and replace BOOL with DWORD.
