0.85b1: Procedure "GetUserPreferredUILanguages"

[helmut]

XnView: MP 0.85 beta 1 - 32 bit
OS: Windows XP - 32 bit

Note: This problem has been introduced in 0.85 beta 1; it worked fine in 0.84.

When trying to start XnView MP a message box is shown saying: The procedure entry point "GetUserPreferredUILanguages" wasn't found in the DLL "KERNEL32.dll".

Effect: XnView MP doesn not start and cannot be used at all.

To reproduce:
1. On Windows XP double-click on xnviewmp.exe

Actual behaviour (bug): Error message is displayed (see above)

Expected behaviour: XnView MP starts up. No error message

it's seems that Qt 5.8.0 doesn't support anymore Windows XP, i ask to the support

O.k.. Actually, it would be bad news if Qt (and thus XnView MP) no longer supported Windows XP. There's still users out there with Windows XP.

Windows XP isn’t supported anymore as a target since Qt 5.7. If you need to continue supporting Windows XP, you must unfortunately stay with Qt 5.6.

Uhhh! O.k., Windows XP users still have XnView Classic as an alternative.

but i think that we can use Qt 5.6.2 dll with 0.85

This would be a good thing.

i have the confirmation, QT 5.8.0 can't be used on Windows XP, i can perhaps make a QT 5.6.0 package for XP users?
If you copy xnview.exe in the 0.84 package, is it working?

No joy

The procedure entry point ??0QDateTime@@QAE@$$QAV0@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Qt5Core.dll.

Tested with the DLLs from MP v0.84 and xnviewmp.exe form v0.85b1:
