vs2005 64-bit platformsdk issue

Hi All,

I am porting a wmi event provider dll from 32 to 64 bit. I have WindowsXP
64bit with Visual Studio 2005. I made a 64 bit configuration in my project.
Everything compiles but I get two unresolved external references in the
link. Both are contained within FrameDyn.lib/dll. I will focus only on one
since the fix is probably the same for both. As you can see from below, the
error is looking for an entry point named ?GetDMTF@WBEMTime@@QEBAPEA_WH@Z.
When I run dumpbin /EXPORTS on the two FrameDyn.lib files installed in the
VisualStudio path, each one has a GetDMTF@WBEMTime entry point but the
decorated name of both do not match what the linker is looking for (see the
names below). I looked around msdn to see if there is a new PlatformSDK for
the Windows 64bit but it appears that the includes, libs and dlls all
shipped with VS2005. If anyone can help me (other than to tell me that I
should recode the project in .net managed...which is not possible right
now), I would be forever grateful.

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: wchar_t * __cdecl
WBEMTime::GetDMTF(int)const " (?GetDMTF@WBEMTime@@QEBAPEA_WH@Z) referenced
in function "private: long __cdecl CMyClass::MyMethod(struct IWbemServices
*,struct IWbemClassObject *)"

Thanks in advance,

It looks like the FrameDyn.lib files are compiled with:
typedef unsigned short wchar_t
whereas yours is compiled with wchar_t being a built-in data type (the
default for VS2005).

VS2005 - Property Pages - Configuration Properties - C/C++ - Language -
Treat wchar_t as Built-in Type = No (default is Yes)
