Ah. This is a problem. First - the error is: 

Error 464 - Couldn't link to function GetUserNameExA
But more serious is that looking at the MS website it seems this is only available on Win XP Professional - and that is really a limitation I can't enforce.

Actually, that's not true, according to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222440

It references secur32.dll all the way back to Win95. However, I noticed you were trying to get it from advapi32.dll, which is incorrect. Try changing that to Secur32.dll (which is what the docs for GetUserNameEx reference).
