The intermediate C DLL does use _StdCall convention. But I don't know
about
the original dll provided by the equipment vender, because no source code
available.

(Though you can 'name' any file anything you want.) It has to be using
StdCall or it wouldn't be a DLL, nor likely to be providing a LIB.

Again run "dumpbin /exports xxxxx.dll > junk.txt" and publish the first 20
lines. That will confirm it is a dll and is exporting calls. Also it will
tell us if they are extern C or not (perhaps managling is an issue here),
and confirm the correct spelling, etc.
Also publish an edited piece of the header file. Leave as much of the #if...
& curly brace blocks as you can, just leave one or two function declarations
so we can see what it looks like.
Also when you created your intermediate C++ DLL, how did you access
xxxxx.dll, did you ... never mind just publish your build string.

We can keep guessing, but it is more productive to have information.
