Delphi 11 Windows XP runtime packages problem

Based on articles:

 

 

I prepared a simple application in Delphi 11.1 which runs on Windows XP. When I try to use runtime packages 
I'm getting an error: Procedure AcquireSRWLockShared entry point not found in library kernel32.dll. 
Is it possible to use runtime packages in application on Windows XP?

AcquireSRWLockShared was introduced in Windows Vista. So, I would guess not. Delphi no longer supports Windows XP as a development target and according to comments from them, they are actively removing code that exists merely to service targeting XP. If you really need to support such an old OS, you will probably want to stick with development tools meant for it.

Use an old version of Delphi that supports XP. Or give up supporting ancient versions of Windows.
