Fatal Error: Access Violation (Debugging 32-bit Console Apps)

BTW, figured out why the Addins weren't working... didn't have the SDK installed. Figured the SDK would only be needed for developing addins and not consuming them...

OK, the horse is dead.

That shouldn't matter... You are correct, the SDK is only for creating AddIns... There's nothing in that bundle except a help file, a lib and header. 

More likely, you missed the step in tools -> options -> customize where you have to check the thing to make it work.  Some AddIns may require you to exit and return to POIDE after activation... most don't... mine don't.
