Windows API calls from managed code

I followed the instructions from this link:

I tried setting a procedure-pointer to the Windows libraries in order to load them but I get error 173 when executing the set procedure pointer statements.

For example:  set pp to entry "kernel32.dll".

I had to set up project references to the libraries in my SysWOW64 folder.  Does anyone know why setting a procedure-pointer isn't working?

This happens even if I include SywWOW64 in the path.
