Please notice that dir2 is not a part of Matlab's toolboxes. Then we can only guess, which function you are talking of. It would be much smarter, when you add a link to the source. If it is a FEX submission, asking the author at first is recommended.

What is the difference to http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/86394-how-to-use-dir2-function-in-matlab? Please do not post multiple questions for the same problem.

The LCC compiler is very old, not powerful and contains many bugs. Here it seems, like it cannot find the header "shlwapi.h". Other compilers include this header as standard. Therefore I suggest to install e.g. the compilers included in the free SDKs for Windows.
