I am trying to useCOR_ILMETHOD_DECODER and for some reason the linker is unable to resolve the _DecoderInit sysbol referenced in it. I've added corguids.lib, but I haven't come up with a way to resolve the linker issue. Any ideas why the linker is unable to resolve it?

Check your C++ compiler arguments. I don't have the same problem - this works on my machine (VS 2008 SDK environment %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat):

cl.exe /Zi /FdHelloWorld.pdb /FeHelloWorld.exe HelloWorld.cpp "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\V6.0A\Include\corhlpr.cpp"

#include <stdio.h>
#include <corhlpr.h>

void main()
{
    COR_ILMETHOD_DECODER d((COR_ILMETHOD *)NULL);
    printf("Hello World");
}

Output (no errors):
