afximpl.h(423): error C2039: 'CompareStringEx' : is not a member of '`global namespace''

Question

When I'm trying to compile an existing C++ project that works in Visual Studio 2005 profesional in Visual Studio 11 Ultimate Beta:

I'm getting this error in afximpl.h:

afximpl.h(423): error C2039: 'CompareStringEx' : is not a member of '`global namespace''

I'm trying to build the project to run from winxp onwards, so I use

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501

Did anyone have this problem?

It seems to be an official policy that applications developed with VC11  will require Vista or later, and will not run on WinXP.
