I am trying to write a C++ program using the Native WiFi API as
described at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms706274%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

I installed Visual Studio 2012 Express, and I am using the wlanapi.h
header that came with it and linking with the wlanapi.lib likewise.
Compile and link goes fine but when I try to run it on Windows 7 I
get a message box displayed with the message 
  "The procedure entry point WFDCloseHandle could not be
   located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll."

The wlanapi.dll apparently came as part of windows 7.  I can post
example code, but I do not think it is a problem in my code as the
same thing happens whether or not I include the call to
WFDCloseHandle.  I can't believe that basic fundamental entry point
has been eliminated.  So, what gives?  How can I fix this?
