my previous guess:

> >* You use the option CURLOPT_FILE but not CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION

So, you actually did use CURLOPT_FILE but not CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION! This is
unfortunately not a successful combination on windows machines.

Since you use CURLOPT_FILE, you *MUST* use CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION as well. If
you correct this, I'm positive you'll have your program working in no time.

This fact is mentioned in the FAQ (item 5.5) as well as in the
curl_easy_setopt() docs for the CURLOPT_FILE option.
