error C2668: 'InlineIsEqualGUID' : ambiguous call to overloaded function

In the last several releases of PSDK, Microsoft has gone back and forth with some namespace issues regarding ATL. The upshot is that if your code uses the "using namespace ATL" statement, you end up with two versions of InlineIsEqualGUID: the one in the root namespace ::InlineIsEqualGUID and the one in the ATL namespace ATL::InlineIsEqualGUID. The compiler is complaining because it can't tell which context you are referring to (this is a problem with globally using a namespace). The solution is to explicitly tell the compiler which version you mean.

Replace InlineIsEqualGUID() with either ::InlineIsEqualGUID() or ATL::InlineIsEqualGUID() and you should be on your way. This is documented in a KB article, but that article is out of date and doesn't quite apply to all versions of PSDK.
