Summary: Inconsistent prototype of VerQueryValue

Initial Comment:
The first parameter of VerQueryValue should be LPCVOID according to MSDN document.
On the other hand, in winver.h in w32api, the first parameter is declared as const LPVOID.
LPCVOID and const LPVOID are different types. The former is a pointer to const void and the latter is a const
pointer to void.
