Linker error in Hello World program

[bajajv]

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005. And this basic code is giving the error-
#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain ( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
PSTR szCmdLine,
int nCmdShow )
{
MessageBox(NULL , TEXT("Hello World"), TEXT("Vipul Bajaj"), 0);
return 0;
}
The error is
MSVCRTD.lib(crt exe.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStar tup

Plz help.

i'm not sure if this is of any help to you at all, but i just compiled it with MinGW (bloodshed devc++) and it ran fine.

this might be a dumb answer, but maybe its your compiler? thats a pretty simple script to not run. you could also try starting a "new project" or whatever you do in MSVC++. i guess it could be a bad linker.

It looks to me like you created a command line project which expects main to exist as is normal for C/C++ programs.
