--- Comment #1 from jiki@red.email.ne.jp ---
Forgot to mention:

The value cooperating with this is defined that
_WIN32_WINNT = 0x501 ( means WinXP )



So I suppose that _WIN32_IE should be changed as follows.

version (IE10) {
} else version (IE9) {
} else version (IE8) {
   ... snipped ...
} else static if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x501) { // ADD
    enum uint _WIN32_IE = 0x600;           // ADD
} else static if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x410) {
    enum uint _WIN32_IE = 0x400;           // this is used now
} else {

@LimiQS created dlang/druntime pull request #2929 "Fix Issue 16658: Default IE version set to 6.0" fixing this issue:

- Fix Issue 16658: Default IE version set to 6.0

  IE 4 it too old. As it only supports up to WinNT 4.0, it's not available on
WinXP or even Win2k. This leads to a mismatch with the default `_WIN32_WINNT =
0x500` (WinXP) value. Make the default IE version set to 6.0 could make more
APIs available at default.

  Also, DMD now supports only `Windows 7 or later, 32 or 64 bit` and Windows 7
has reached End Of Life on 14 January 2020, it could reasonably set default
value to: `_WIN32_WINNT = 0x601` and `_WIN32_IE = 0x800`. But this topic should
be discussed in another PR.
