Hello,

shlobj.pp declares the following:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i   function
SHCreateFileExtractIconA(pszFile:lpcstr; dwFileAttributes:DWord;
constref riid:TREFIID; ppv:Ppointer):HRESULT;StdCall;external
External_library name 'SHCreateFileExtractIconA';  function
SHCreateFileExtractIconW(pszFile:lpcwstr; dwFileAttributes:DWord;
constref riid:TREFIID; ppv:Ppointer):HRESULT;StdCall;external
External_library name 'SHCreateFileExtractIconW'; The problem is the
"A" version of this function does _not_ exist in Win XP onwards.

A note indicating that condition might be appropriate (or possibly a
"deprecated" message)

HTH.

FPC supports now Win7 or later, so if WinXP misses it, it must be
deleted.
