How to use NetShareDelEx

I'm trying to use NetShareDelEx but I'm getting error 124 which is ERROR_INVALID_LEVEL.

For testing purpose I first add a share with NetShareAdd which is successful. Then I try to remove it. My code is:

LPCWSTR sharePath = L"C:\\SharedFolderEx";
SHARE_INFO_2 shareInfo;
ZeroMemory(&shareInfo, sizeof(SHARE_INFO_2));
shareInfo.shi2_netname = L"SharedFolderEx";
shareInfo.shi2_type = STYPE_DISKTREE;
shareInfo.shi2_remark = L"Shared Folder for testing";
shareInfo.shi2_permissions = ACCESS_READ | ACCESS_WRITE | ACCESS_DELETE;
shareInfo.shi2_max_uses = -1;
shareInfo.shi2_path = (LPWSTR)sharePath;
shareInfo.shi2_passwd = NULL;

DWORD parmErr;
DWORD status = NetShareAdd(NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)&shareInfo, &parmErr);

if(status != NERR_Success && status != NERR_DuplicateShare) {
    printf("NetShareAdd failed, Error code: %d\n", status);
    return;
}

status = NetShareDelEx(NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)&shareInfo);

if(status != NERR_Success) {
    printf("NetShareDelEx failed, Error code: %d\n", status);
    return;
}

I also tried for the NetShareDelEx call to use SHARE_INFO_0 or SHARE_INFO_1 but I got the same error code (124). I have no issue if I use NetShareDel or NetShareDelSticky but I need to use NetShareDelEx.

What I'm doing wrong?

According to the Doc:NetShareDelEx function

If 0, 1, 2, or 502 is specified for the level parameter, the buf parameter points to a SHARE_INFO_0, SHARE_INFO_1, SHARE_INFO_2, or SHARE_INFO_502 structure, and the shi0_netname, shi1_netname, shi2_netname, or shi502_netname member of that structure is used; the other members are ignored.

I suggest you could try to just use the shi2_netname and ignore the other member.
