Nope. Tests should succeed on all Windows platforms. For platforms where
the API is not supported, the individual checks should be skipped.
Typically this involves either:
 1. either using GetProcAddress if the API is missing altogether on some
platforms
 2. of calling the API and testing for the error code, usually
ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

CreateNamedPipe{A,W} exists on Win95 so at most you will need something
along the lines of 2.
