You have a const char * and want to convert it to a const wchar_t *.
Applications can use unicode or MBCS, the great difference is that a unicode char is a 16bit value, were a MBCS character is usually 8bits long.
The SDK uses either a Unicode interface (functions with W extension) or an MBCS interface with A extension, depending on the settings of the UNICODE define. It seams that you have UNICODE defined but you are using standard strings. Either use the _T macro or the L"wide char string" mode.
