I have eventually identified the problem, the original app was written for the Pocket PC, which is only Unicode:
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE inst,HINSTANCE prev,LPTSTR cmd,int show )
notice that it uses an LPTSTR for the cmd parameter.
When I defined UNICODE for the desktop app, I copied this, however the desktop app requires this parameter to always be an LPSTR whether UNICODE is defined or not. Thanks for the assistance, Clive
