title: How to solve the "unresolved external symbol" link error in visual c++?
body: <p>I Have the Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express Edition.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to compile a program but I am getting the following Link Error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1&gt;MSVCRT.lib(wcrtexew.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wWinMain@16
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I tried to do:</p>
  
  <p>I found this on google:</p>
  
  <pre><code>For Visual C++ .NET: In the Advanced category of the Linker folder in the Project Properties dialog box, set the Entry Point to wWinMainCRTStartup.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It was intended to work but didn't. How do I compile this app? </p>
  
  <p>The code is stupidly simple:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include "stdafx.h"
  int main( int argc, char ** argv )
  {
  }
  </code></pre>
