   std::vector<char> pAdapterInfo(ulOutBufLen);

And for passing the address to old API functions:

   char* ptr = &pAdapterInfo[0];

JB's solution should also work, but is overly verbose, overly obscures
the code logic, and is overly fragile in comparison.

In what way doesn't it work? Compile time? Run time? Code review time?
What or who doesn't like it? The BCB5 compiler appears to be perfectly
happy with it, once I replaced the variable with an explicit value.

Oh, and I recommend that you drop the 'ul' wart. Hungarian notation is
really not useful in C++.
