   what should i do for this????
  hi technocrats   I have included all header files, added the necesssary library files in lib directory and the necessary dll''s in the Windows system folder , but still i am getting the following error message while linking. I even included the necessary library files in the settings.LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _mainDebug/Lesson1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externalsError executing link.exe. what should i do now? I am breaking my head over this for the past 2 days!!  
  you made the wrong project type.  Windows is looking for a main() function.  This means you created a win32 console application. Most likely your application doesn''t contain a main function but a winmain.  If your application has a winmain() function then you need to create a win32 application, not a win32 console application.  You can fix this problem by creating a new project of the correct type.  ;  you either haven't written a void main() function or aren't compiling the file that contains it. [EDIT: also...what AP said ]-me[edited by - Palidine on September 16, 2002 1:18:01 PM];  thank u guys!!I made the mistake of saving it as win32 console application instead of win32 appln!!Thank u very much!!  ;  But if it was the main() wouldn''t it spit out "Undefined Reference to _main()"?
