c++ - error: LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals



I'm trying to get details about installed applications in my post. And, I'm getting the below errors:



Code:



#include 

#include
#include

using namespace std;

#ifdef _UNICODE
#define tcout wcout
#define tstring wstring
#else
#define tcout cout

#define tstring string
#endif

tstring RegistryQueryValue(HKEY hKey,
LPCTSTR szName)
{
tstring value;

DWORD dwType;
DWORD dwSize = 0;


if (::RegQueryValueEx(
hKey, // key handle
szName, // item name
NULL, // reserved
&dwType, // type of data stored
NULL, // no data buffer
&dwSize // required buffer size
) == ERROR_SUCCESS && dwSize > 0)
{

value.resize(dwSize);

::RegQueryValueEx(
hKey, // key handle
szName, // item name
NULL, // reserved
&dwType, // type of data stored
(LPBYTE)&value[0], // data buffer
&dwSize // available buffer size
);

}

return value;
}

void RegistryEnum()
{
HKEY hKey;
LONG ret = ::RegOpenKeyEx(
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, // local machine hive

__TEXT("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall"), // uninstall key
0, // reserved
KEY_READ, // desired access
&hKey // handle to the open key
);

if (ret != ERROR_SUCCESS)
return;

DWORD dwIndex = 0;

DWORD cbName = 1024;
TCHAR szSubKeyName[1024];

while ((ret = ::RegEnumKeyEx(
hKey,
dwIndex,
szSubKeyName,
&cbName,
NULL,
NULL,

NULL,
NULL)) != ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS)
{
if (ret == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
HKEY hItem;
if (::RegOpenKeyEx(hKey, szSubKeyName, 0, KEY_READ, &hItem) != ERROR_SUCCESS)
continue;

tstring name = RegistryQueryValue(hItem, __TEXT("DisplayName"));

tstring publisher = RegistryQueryValue(hItem, __TEXT("Publisher"));
tstring version = RegistryQueryValue(hItem, __TEXT("DisplayVersion"));
tstring location = RegistryQueryValue(hItem, __TEXT("InstallLocation"));

if (!name.empty())
{
tcout << name << endl;
tcout << " - " << publisher << endl;
tcout << " - " << version << endl;
tcout << " - " << location << endl;

tcout << endl;
}

::RegCloseKey(hItem);
}
dwIndex++;
cbName = 1024;
}
::RegCloseKey(hKey);
}


void main(){
RegistryEnum();
}


Errors:

How may I fix this please?
