Hi @chris.lawrence

I am going to assume you are building a RFA C++ 8.2.0.L2.static application.

Are you building one of the existing examples or your own application?

If you are building your own application please ensure the wininet.lib library is included in your project settings for Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.

e.g. for the StarterConsumer example I can see the following specified:

msvcprtd.lib;msvcrtd.lib;ws2_32.lib;wininet.lib; libRFA8_140_x64.lib; %(AdditionalDependencies)

If I remove wininet.lib, then I also get

Thanks, adding wininet.lib fixed this issue
