**Description**  
I have two questions about windows SDK.

1. base vs2019 IDE, once import zoom\_sdk.h I will get compile error. It says GetVersion() function be conflict with sysinfoapi.h’s GetVersion().

if I comment #include “zoom\_sdk.h” build will be successful.

2. base 2017 IDE, load and init Zoom’s dll, it always very slowy if it’s release build; Debug build is normally.

for question 2, I found it’s fixed in latest SDK version [v5.2.42037.1112](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-windows/releases/tag/v5.2.42037.1112).

for question 1, I downgrade to vs2017 and fix it.

Hey @powerguan,

Thanks for using the dev forum!  
I am glad you have resolved the first issue. In regards to the second issue, the ZoomSDK only supports release builds. How have you configured your debug build?

Thanks!  
Michael
