The latest version of our software (soon to be released) uses
functions in SetupAPI.DLL. This means it won't run under XP because at
the point our DLL is loaded the OS steps in, complains about the
missing function and unloads our DLL.

What is the simplest/safest workaround for this?

The only thing we can currently come up with is to hive that module off
as a separate DLL and load it only when we need it. This will involve
work and changes we'd rather avoid at this late stage so is there
anything else we can do?
