How to fix Ambiguity between ' DWORD ' and ' Fibplatforms:: DWORD

Question

I am working with FIBPlus Components in RAD Studio XE4. During compilation I have ambiguity errors. Someone proposed to fix it in this link but it did not work.

Here are the errors

[bcc32 Error] ws2tcpip.h(162): E2015 Ambiguity between 'DWORD' and 'Fibplatforms::DWORD'

The [other link](http://www.progtown.com/topic1300578-ambiguity-between-dword-and-fibplatforms-dword.html) already gave you the solution - FIBPlus needs to be updated to declare its `DWORD` alias as `{$EXTERNALSYM}` so it does not exist in the generated HPP anymore (better would be if FIBPlus stopped declaring its own `DWORD` alias at all and instead used Delphi's own `DWORD` alias). What happened when you actually tried that? Indy's `IdWinSock2` unit is expecting to use `DWORD` from the Win32 API, not from somewhere else. — Remy Lebeau, Apr 22 '15 at 17:51
