I am having trouble with my program to simply open the serial port COM4. any help would be appreciated.

#define STRICT
#define _AFXDLL
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <tchar.h>
#include <AFXWIN.H>
#include <windows.h>
#include "Serial\Serial\Serial.h"
#include "Serial\Serial\SerialEx.h"
#include "Serial\Serial\SerialMFC.h"
#include "Serial\Serial\SerialWnd.h"
int WINAPI_tWinMain
	 (
	 HINSTANCE //hInst
	 HINSTANCE //hInstPrev
	 int
	 )
{
	 CSerial serial;

	 serial.Open(_T("COM4"));

	 serial.Setup (CSerial::EBaud9600, CSerial::EData8, CSerial::EParNone, CSerial::EStop1);
	 CSerial::SetupHandshaking;
	 serial.Write("Hello World");

	 serial.Close();
	 return 0;
}

along with the error code..

None of these errors seem to be related to working with the serial port. Your precompiled headers seem to be messed up. Either fix stdafx.h or remove the include and switch them off in the compile settings. You also seem to be trying to link MFC statically while using the dynamic runtime. Do you actually need MFC at all in the first place?

#include "stdafx.h"

needs to be the first line in any source file if you are using a precompiled header. Anything before that is ignored. Move the two defines down below #include "stdafx.h" or put them in the stdafx.h file instead.

when using pre-compiled headers, #include "stdafx.h" should always be the first line.
anythig before that is ignored
