Cause

With the release of 11.13.1.1 a new library is required, dhcpcsvc.lib, as indicated by this extract from the makefile -

XTRALIB1 = oldnames.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib netapi32.lib \
advapi32.lib gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib comctl32.lib wsock32.lib shell32.lib \
Rpcrt4.lib oleaut32.lib Ole32.lib Wbemuuid.lib wintrust.lib crypt32.lib Ws2_32.lib psapi.lib Shlwapi.lib dhcpcsvc.lib

but this is not currently included in the documentation.

Resolution

Adding this library to the link list should resolve the error.
The Development Environment Guide for the next GA version, 11.14, will include details for the complete required link list.

Additional Information

dhcpcsvc.lib was added as a part of enhancement to support Azure detection in FNP.
