It appears to me that you can only get this error if you have defined WINVER to be something less than 0x0500, which means the software you are building is attempting to support a version of windows PRIOR to Windows 2000. Is this your intention? Try defining WINVER to be 0x0500 (if you want to run on Win2k and higher) and 0x0501 (if you want to run on WinXP+)

This could be related to the first issue. DWORD* and PULONG_PTR are supposed to be exactly the same type when compiling for x64 on recent operating systems. So it makes me think that the compiler thinks you're on a really old operating system. I would try this

#define WINVER 0x0501 #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501

either in your stdafx.h if you use precompiled header, or as a command line option if you don't.

On our 32-bit builds (where this problem does NOT occur) we have been using _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 in an inherited .vsprops file. That's for both of these setups: - WinXP SP3 + VS2005, mostly for development, testing, etc - WindowsServer2003 + VS2005, generally our "production" environment On the 64-bit builds (where the problem DOES occur) I am using _WIN32_WINNT=0x0600 directly in the .vcproj files. That's on a WindowsServer2008 SP1, VS2008 setup. Either "windows.h" or "WinNT.h" says 0x0600 is "Longhorn", and it appears that WindowsServer2008 qualifies, based on what I thought I saw when I intentionally omitted _WIN32_WINNT and let the compiler pick the value. Maybe I'm wrong; I'll try to verify what happens if I don't specify anything for _WIN32_WINNT. If you think 0x0600 is a BAD value to use, let me know and I'll revert to 0x0501 all the way around.
