No, it is not possible to compile project wizard generated code in Unicode build. Generated code uses char* for strings which is not allowed in Unicode build.

I know.
I think I was not clear enough.
I meant:
is it possible, that the OP compiles the default project in unicode mode without changing it (or the global compiler settings) ?
Because with default settings (of win, gcc and the wizard) it compiles fine.

At the moment default project template is suitable for Ansi build only. However it is easy to change it to build it in Unicode mode. Just define UNICODE and _UNICODE in project build option.

I intend to make it even newbie proof. I want to change project wizard to generate 4 build targets (Ansi-Debug, Ansi-Release, Unicode-Debug & Unicode-Release). This way user can select appropriate target and build without any hiccup.

That means the OP must have changed someting, either in the project settings or in the global compiler options.
I asked because he asked whether he might have made a mistake:

I fully expect it to run and then do sod all, but I can't even run it. I must be doing something wrong right? I just got 12.11, but it was doing the same thing for me on 10.5

Mr_Poletski:
I believe this happened because I had a previous copy of cb installed where I had some compiler options set, including unicode. I don't think the compiler options stayed when I upgraded (old 10.5 to 12.11), but unicode had.

Thanks for the help guys, I can get writing now.
