//
// If you are using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, under the General tab of the project
// properties change the Character Set to 'Use Unicode Character Set'.
//
// Windows XP and later are native Unicode so Unicode applications will perform better.
// For Windows 98 and Windows Me support, consider using the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU).
//
// To use MSLU, link against a set of libraries similar to this
// /nod:kernel32.lib /nod:advapi32.lib /nod:user32.lib /nod:gdi32.lib /nod:shell32.lib /nod:comdlg32.lib /nod:version.lib /nod:mpr.lib /nod:rasapi32.lib /nod:winmm.lib /nod:winspool.lib /nod:vfw32.lib /nod:secur32.lib /nod:oleacc.lib /nod:oledlg.lib /nod:sensapi.lib UnicoWS.lib kernel32.lib advapi32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib shell32.lib comdlg32.lib version.lib mpr.lib rasapi32.lib winmm.lib winspool.lib vfw32.lib secur32.lib oleacc.lib oledlg.lib sensapi.lib dxerr9.lib dxguid.lib d3dx9d.lib d3d9.lib comctl32.lib

Alright....I used Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2003 for quite awhile. I deleted it, and decided I would try the free tools in the meantime, while I await the 2005 edition.
I have stormed these forums for two days, trying to compile various sample projects.
My first one was compiling the source for a program created with the MSVS2003 AppWizard for a C++ Win32 Application. This just popped up a blank window with a blackbackground with the options to exit, and about.
My first try, I imported the solution. I could not get the thing to compile, even though I have installed MS C++ Toolkit and Platform SDK.
I worked with it forever yesterday, and was finally able to get it to compile by not importing the solution, but creating a new Win32 application and then adding all of the files from the original project. It now compiles wonderfully.
Task 2 was to get DirectX working. I downloaded DirectX SDK.
However, when I try to compile a simple sample application (found inside of the samples in the SDK), I get the above error. I am almost positive I already have the correct libs added in the compiler settings.
I saw a solution to this in one of the other forums, but the answer was not specific enough. Apparently I am slow.
Will I need to add some more library paths to get this to work?
Will someone throw me a bone, and lets see if we can get this sample to compile on my machine? I would very much appreciate the help. I didn't have to do any of that stuff with MSVS, but I am willing to work at getting this to work, if I can get some pointers in the right direction.
Thanks.
