Works here and I have the same versions you listed above. There is
probably something else in your interface file, try the minimal example
I've put below.

/* File : example.i */
%module example

%include <windows.i>
%include <typemaps.i>

%{
#include <windows.h>

long WINAPI TOCRInitialise(long *INPUT) { return *INPUT; }
%}

extern long WINAPI TOCRInitialise(long *INPUT);


# file: example.py
import example

longVal = example.TOCRInitialise(200)
print longVal
