Re: [sqlite] deprecated windows OS calls

[Keith Medcalf]

Checking the Windows API version doesn't really give much information anyway.  
The Windows API has undergone almost no changes since its inception (which is 
why software written for the win32api a decade ago continues to work 
flawlessly).  Pretty much it only is a rough indicator of when Microsoft has 
lost lawsuits which required them to move some "secret" api's that they used to 
make only their own products work better available for general use.

Whatever it is that is telling you the API is deprecated is lying to you.  It 
is not deprecated and will continue to function forwards forever as long as 
there is a windows api.  WHat it is telling you is that if the windows version 
is later than 8.1 it will return the compile target version rather than the 
actual version of the OS, since the version of the OS is irrelevant.

As long as SQLite isn't using APIs introduced with Windows 8 or later, it
shouldn't make a difference. Microsoft might call GetVersionEx "deprecated"
but it's still there and supported. The only catch is that it will
(apparently) forever report it is an older version of the OS than it really
is.
