AutoItX VC6 example compilation error

[c0der 0]

Hello!

I have installed AutoIt V3.3.6.1. I try to integrate AutoIt features into Visual C++ application using AutoItX, but I can't even compile the example project located in C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoItX\StandardDLL\VC6\Example\. When compiling project with Visual C++ 6.0, I get following errors:

--------------------Configuration: main - Win32 Release--------------------

Compiling...

main.cpp

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoItX\StandardDLL\VC6\Example\main.cpp(17) : error C2664: 'AU3_Run' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [12]' to 'const unsigned short *'

Error executing cl.exe.

main.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I already tried to Google these error messages but didn't find anything usefull. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to use wchar_t instead of char. It requires Unicode.
