VS 2015 compiler error 'LCMapStringEx': identifier not found

Question

My C++/MFC code compiles fine with VS 2013 but when I have compiled with VS 2015 I get this error:

C:\VS\VC\atlmfc\include\atlwinverapi.h(710): 
error C3861: 'LCMapStringEx': identifier not found

I don't use LCMapString anywhere in my code, so I don't know where this come from?

I had the same problem. For me the cause was this: Part of the project had _WIN32_WINNT set in such a way that XP was supported, other files didn't have this define. So the MFC headers were included with different values for the supported platform leading to this strange error.
