1. Delete the gdidemo.def file -- you don't need it since the linker does it automatically now
2. Delete the previous project files
3. Create a new "Win32 Application"
4. Add all .c, .h, and .rc files to this project
5. Build it

You shouldn't get that error Delete the Release and Build folders as well. You need to make sure that you actually create it IN that folder, rather than another folder inside it which VC has a tendency to do.

It's the Release and Debug folders, if they're there.
Okay. Step-by-step:
1. Open VC++
2. Make a new Win32 Application in a new folder
3. Find the folder you made that in and copy the .c, .h, and .rc files into it.
4. Add those files to the project
5. Press the Build button (or hit Ctrl-F5)
