The error is intentional.  Like the message says, wsprintf() has been
replaced with StringCbPrintf() and StringCchPrintf().  wsprintf() is
deprecated and is considered unsafe.  So are similar functions, such
as lstrcpy().  Microsoft designed its newer Win32 SDK headers to
intentionally fail with linker errors on such functions.  In order to
see that message in the first place, you obviously have the newer
headers installed.  So you should do what the message says and use
StringCbPrintf() or StringCchPrintf() instead of wsprintf() from now
on.
