That is a little odd as I get the same error when createing a Win32 Appliaction. and I select an empty project. after selecting a simple project it works fine.

very odd like can;t seem to see what da problum is like.


When ya dreams come true.

Make sure that you are not selecting a Win32 Console Application and that you are defining WinMain in your Win 32 application.

How do you define WinMain when you open up an empty project window? Please explain it in details.

centy, u would have to be a bit specific about what kind of code u are working on and what ur requirements are...
If it is console based application then Win32 Console Application would be fine else if it is a windows based project go on for Win32 Application. You often get this error on choosing Win32 application when u r actually coding for a console based application....
You can refer to the msdn library for more information on winmain()
