Re: Turning off name-decoration

I've got a DLL file that I want to access from my code. To achieve this I used:
dumpbin <filename> /exports
then made a .def file and ran
lib /def:deffile
which gives me a nice library file.
Next in the header file I tried to add a function:
HRESULT __stdcall Initialize(GUID *guid, DWORD IDCRLVersion /* should be 1 */, DWORD dwFlags /*should be 0xF*/);

But that fails with the message:

1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "long __stdcall Initialize(struct _GUID *,unsigned long,unsigned long)" (?Initialize@@YGJPAU_GUID@@KK@Z) referenced in function _main

I also tried adding extern "C" to it, but even that resulted in:

1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _Initialize@12 referenced in function _main



Is there a way to turn off name mangling completely? or is there another way to get this to link properly? 

When you do 'dumpbin /exports', what's the actual name of the symbol
that corresponds to the 'Initialize' function?
