C# Coding ,Unable to load DLL 'AutoItX3.dll' in Win 2000

[Guanh]

I am developing with VS2019,and I reference  AutoItX3.Assembly.dll from nuget,  dll version 3.3.14.5, .net framework runtime version v2.0.50727. 

I can run Application  on my PC -windows 10 and also on windows XP . but when I put them on windows 2000. my app reports error :

Unable to load DLL 'AutoItX3.dll': The specified procedure could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007F);

code is simply ,like this:

AutoItX.WinGetHandle(title)

 

I used dependency walker to check dll file's dependency, and found  out that 😅 , oh ,GetModuleHandleExW is not  kenerl.dll 's function in win 2k .

so I want to confirm , AutoItX can or not  support windows 2000. if can  work ,What can I do to fix this error ? thanks a lot!

v3.3.8.1 – Last version to support Windows 2000.

P.S. Why would you still be developing for such an out-of-date OS?
