A year ago I raised this issue but never did get any resolution. I'd like to test the community's patience by revisiting it.
Simply put, ReportEvent crashes when built in 64bit but works fine when built in 32bit. My sample code demonstrates this.
Any feedback is welcome as I can find nothing to help me past this impasse.
