If an application links statically to the RASAPI32 DLL, the application will fail to load if Remote Access Service is not installed. A RAS application can load when RAS is not installed by using LoadLibrary to load the DLL, and GetProcAddress to obtain pointers to the RAS functions.
The Win32 RAS functions are in RASAPI32.DLL. The import library for these functions is RASAPI32.LIB. To use the RAS functions, your programs must include the following files:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| RAS.H | Contains the RAS function prototypes, constants, and structure definitions. |
| RASERROR.H | Contains the RAS error codes. |
