Thank you for looking at this. I tried removing -lnetio, but package didn't install at all on Windows 10. > Does the Dependency Walker <https://dependencywalker.com/> provide > you > any useful information about the package DLL besides what you already > know?

I looked at the Dependency Walker, but it was giving me many messages about missing DLLs with names like: API-MS-WIN-CORE-STRING-L2-1-0.DLL Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2). These libraries seem to be part of the UCRT system. However, when looked at the DLL of a package that *did* load in Dependency Walker, I got the same messages, so I think the path to the UCRT files may be missing. Dependency Walker did seem to find: c:\windows\system32\WINSPOOL.DRV For NETIO.SYS it gave the " Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)." There was also this table in the output. [ ? ] NETIO.SYS Import Ordinal Hint Function Entry Point ------ ------- ------------ ---------------------- ------ ----- [CE ] N/A 4 (0x0004) CancelMibChangeNotify2 Not Bound [CE ] N/A 79 (0x004F) GetIpForwardTable2 Not Bound [CE ] N/A 364 (0x016C) NotifyRouteChange2 Not Bound [CE ] N/A 529 (0x0211) if_nametoindex Not Bound If you're really interested, I can send you the output, but from what Uwe says, I'm wondering if this is a lost cause!
