    The ConvertStringSidToSid function is conditionally defined, dependent on _WIN32_WINNT being defined as equal to or greater than 0x0500.

    If you add

        #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500

    above your #include statements, the code should compile.

    Optionally, you can set _WIN32_WINNT through a compiler option.

    For more details about _WIN32_WINNT, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winprog/winprog/using_the_windows_headers.asp.
