Research direction
Start with the supplied repro.cpp and the command-line build shown in the report, then compare its behavior with the DetourAttach error in the attached image. The issue does not identify the failing entry point, Detours version, expected behavior, or a reproducible failing test, so a concrete done condition cannot yet be defined.
