This is the error I am recieving when compiling the following code.

.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none

include		\masm32\include\WINDOWS.inc
include		\masm32\include\kernel32.inc

EnableTheming	PROTO :DWORD

includelib	\masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib	\masm32\lib\uxtheme.lib

.data

.data?

.const

IDI_LOGO	equ		500

.code

Start:
	INVOKE	EnableTheming,TRUE	;uxtheme.dll

	INVOKE	ExitProcess,eax		;kernel32.dll

END Start

I built the uxtheme.lib according to Make .LIB from dll (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q131/3/13.asp&NoWebContent=1)

To use invoke, you need to have a prototype of the function, otherwise you need to use push args and call Function.
In the best case you can get ,you can use

EnableTheming PROTO C:VARARG

Otherwise ,you will have to load the DLL ,find the function and calling it.
