No.
It most likely wants a main() because your project is a Win32 Console App, instead of a ''normal'' Win32 app.

is there a list of linker errors and what they mean?
Yes. it''s in MSDN. If you have MSVC and the MSDN Library installed, highlight the error code in the output pane and hit F1. otherwise, you''ll have to search MSDN Library Online.

Ok then, where in a project settings is the ability to tell the compiler it is a win32 application and not a console application??

You know, main() is normal for C++, WinMain() isn''t.
When you choose to create a Win32 app, my guess is that VC++ links to a main() function that basically calls WinMain()
