for (char32_t i = 0; i < 8; i++)
hash += ptr[i];

OK, now it's clear
find(serial.begin(), serial.end(), serialNumber)
serial is a vector<string> but serialNumber is a DWORD. You can't use find to look for a DWORD in a vector of strings. I guess you need to convert the DWORD to a string first, or maybe you could change serial to a vector<DWORD>.
And as drescherjm says get into the habit of looking at the output tab for your error messages, it's much more useful than the error list (which for some reason microsoft insist on showing you first).
