It looks like the compiler is mangling the name (like all C++ compilers
do).  But I would bet that the actual function in the DLL is not mangled
-- this means you need to enclose its declaration in:

extern "C" {

// declaration goes here

}

just like any other C function that you would need to call.

Or turn off C++ entirely, if Microsoft's compiler will even let you do that.
