error C2197

[Angus]

Hello

I am getting this error:

error C2197: 'long (__stdcall *)(void)' : too many actual parameters
Error executing cl.exe.

The offending line is:

if ((lResult = (*pfnGetProviderList)(0x00020000,
pProviderList)) != 0) // this one
{
goto ProviderInstall_freeProviderList;
}

I am converting this C code into C++. Is the problem that compiler
does not understand the parameters required for pfnGetProviderList?
How can I fix?

We'd need to see the type of pfnGetProviderList. However, guessing
based on the error message, pfnGetProviderList was declared as a pointer
to function taking empty parentheses as the parameter list. In C that
works out to "will accept any parameters". In C++ that works out to
void.

So... change your declaraction of pfnGetProviderList's type to the right
function signature.
