WSAGetLastError does not pass Windows App Certification Kit Test

Question

According to the WSAGetLastError() documentation, it is supported for Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1.

However, I am getting the following error from Windows App Certification Kit - Test Results:

-API WSAGetLastError in wsock32.dll is not supported for this application type

I am developing a Windows Store app in Windows 8.1.

Am I missing something?

Are you linking your app to wsock32.dll directly? If so, you should be linking to Ws2_32.dll instead. — Remy Lebeau, Jun 09 '15 at 18:00
@RemyLebeau: Thanks very much! It worked! I had two libraries, wsock32.lib and Ws2_32.lib as input to my linker...:-( I removed wsock32.lib and it worked. — Mobile Application Developer, Jun 09 '15 at 18:46

This was because a wrong library (wsock32.lib) was linked.

I had two libraries, wsock32.lib and Ws2_32.lib as input to my linker...:-( I removed wsock32.lib and it worked.
