[New-bugs-announce] [issue43661] api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1.0.dll, redux of 40740 (which has since been closed)

[Tom Kacvinsky]

New submission from Tom Kacvinsky <tkacvins at gmail.com>:

Even though bpo#40740 has been closed, I wanted to re-raise the issue as this affects me.  There are only two functions that come from this missing DLL:

PathCchCombineEx
PathCchCanonicalizeEx

Would there be a way of rewriting join/canonicalize in getpathp.c (each of which uses one of the above functions) to _not_ rely on functions from a missing DLL on Windows 7 SP1?  Or has the ship truly sailed on this matter?
