Decrypting RSA encrypted symmetric key using crypto API

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I'm trying to decrypt a 3DES symmetric key wich was encrypted by a
RSA public key using the PKCS#1 padding. I'm using the CryptDecrypt
function which should support (MSDN) the decryption of RSA encrypted
keys. But when I call this function all I get is an unsupported function
error.
I'm using Windows XP with service pack 2.
It would be greate if someone can give me an example for this or an example
using the CryptImportKey function.

Thanks in advance
Martin
