Why not forget about libhid and libusb all-together for HID device under
Windows? You can use native HID API. There are many examples here.

More examples:
For pk2cmd (I am a tester), the developers decide to use libusb
under Linux, native HID API under Windows and Mac OS X.

libhid is not known to work under Windows as far as I know. Last time
Rob Krakora ported it to Windows and I tested it and it seem to work.
But I have since lost the zip file as my last desktop crashed. And
I do not think it is a good fit for HID device under Windows due to
limitation of libusb-win32.
