how to compile this ?

[nadinedawi]

I tried to compile CVE-2023-29336 on Visual Studio 2022 and I got an error in line 572
si.lpDesktop = L"WinSta0\Default";

please upload a compiled version

edit line 572 like this

si.lpDesktop = (LPCWSTR)"WinSta0\Default";

and rebuild the project

(LPCWSTR)

Did you mean LPWSTR? The lpDesktop item is of type LPWSTR not LPCWSTR?
