There definately is as I use it daily.  I'm not sure the cause of the
EINVAL, but without a bind, it definately won't work on Windows:

I assume you aren't trying to define IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP yourself?

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-09/msg01007.html

Are you sure the interface IP exists and is up with a link on your
test system?

Nope.  IP_MULTICAST_IF specifies which interface to use for outbound
traffic.  IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP tells a particular interface to receive
multicast traffic.  That IP must be present and up with link, or EINVAL
will be returned.
