Usually a Google search helps for most questions like this, since SO many other people have run into the same problem. For example, try a search like this:

Basically, the problem is that you must ensure your project was created as a Win32 Console application / project, not a Win32 application / project.

Jason, I have a similar problem. I am rerunning the example given in Chapter 2 (pp. 64-65; 71-72) of Ivor Horton’s Introduction to Visual C++ 6.0. I HAVE to use Win32 Application from the projects list, as specified on page 53. ;)I have made a few fixes, as I have described in my two previous posts. posted elsewhere. :(I received the following similar error messages with my taskbuild:

----------------Configuration: SimpleApp - Win32 Debug----------------
Compiling...
SimpleApp.cpp
Linking...
:(MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
:(Debug/SimpleApp.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

SimpleApp.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Do you have any ideas, other that to using the Win32 Console application / project setting?

Agree with Jasond’s point of view
