Problem running compiled .cpp

Hello....I am just beginning to use VC++. I just tried the simple Hello world program. It compiled correctly but when I tried to run it (Ctrl +F5) and I get the message " Unable to run program C:\users\....\Projects\HelloWorld\Debug\HelloWorld.dll

What am I missing here? Does it have something to do with the path of the compiled program?

BTW: I am using Visual C++ 2010 Express on a Vista 64 platform

Thanks for the help
Seems like you have your project set up to be a DLL. When creating, you should probably pick "empty project."
Zhuge... thanks. that works.
