DWORD ambiguous error in empty plugin

Hi,

I made a new Blueprint Library Plugin from the wizzard. I did not add any includes.
As soon as I use a DWORD I get an error:

For example:
void deleteMe() {
DWORD test;
}

Error C2872 ‘DWORD’: ambiguous symbol

I have seen all the solutions where to wrap the includes inside of

#include "AllowWindowsPlatformTypes.h"
 ...
 #include "HideWindowsPlatformTypes.h"

but I haven’t included anything and still it is ambiguous, not undefined. Using another Datatype is not an option, as I want to call a function that needs this datatype.

Any ideas? Thanks for your Help!

Ok, I solved the problem. According to Microsoft DWORD is declared as followes:

 typedef unsigned long DWORD, *PDWORD, *LPDWORD;

Thats why I could change my variables to unsigned long and still use the function!

it is the only solution that worked for me …
thanks
