This is stemmed from this topic i made @ http://vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=430985


For Some Reason Ever Since i re-formatted my computer and re-installed everthing i needed to. Such as The Platform SDK(R2), DirectX 9 August 2006 SDK.
I havent been able to compile projects that i used to be able to compile.

For Example. This is just a simple app that prompts a mesage box upon loading.

This is the code:
VB Code:
  1. #include <windows.h> 

  2.  
  3. int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance ,LPSTR lpCmdLine ,int nCmdShow){ 

  4.  
  5.     MessageBox( NULL , "Hello World!", "Win32 Tutorial" , MB_OK ); 

  6.  
  7.     return 0; 

  8. }

This used to run in VC++ 2005 Express Edition(Tho idk if it was still a Beta..LOL)

Anyways....Is it just me... or do i need to get Visual Studio 2005 to fix this problem...

However... This same example works with Dev-C++. But since i want to work with DirectX, im going to stick with VC++ 2005 Ex Ed... soon to be VS 2005.

:For Those that hate double posters:
You might think im double posting... but im not.This is a totally new question surrounding an old question
