Furthermore, If you are using user32.dll or another WinAPI DLL in your application and you do not properly specify the location of the library on disk, you may receive the following error when attempting to run your executable: Entry Point Not Found: The procedure entry point wcscat_s could not be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll.
