Yes .... when you want to make a new project:
In the "Project types:" , select "Wizards"

Then you will have a choice of only the following 3:
Dark GDK - 2D Games
Dark GDK - 3D Games
Dark GDK - Games

Lets start from the beginning.

1)You firstly installed Visual C++ 2008 Express edition.

2) you then installed the latest DirectX SDK.

3) you then started up Visual C++ and closed it down again so it could configure itself.

4) you then ran the "Dark GDK" download.

This download will only expand the "Dark GDK" package.
You will have to then run the expanded "Dark GDK files" to actually install them.

Always use the Wizard to start off with.

Winmain is not your program entry point.

Try the following project and look at its configuration.

Good to see things are sorted out.

Maybe you just did not restart windows after doing the install, and things did not fully configure..... Windows can be funny like that at times.

I think the problem was that in your original code you didn't have a LoopGDK() call. I had exactly the same problem, same error message until I put in :-



then it compiled OK. sybods example is the very minimum you need to compile and run a GDK program.
