VC ++ cant compile in release mode.

rain (84)
I can compile following code in debug mode but for some reason I cant build it in release mode. I want to compile it in release mode because I think this is how I can get rid of it's console window. I want to make it completely windowless.

In release mode it gives me lots of errors I don't know how fix.

Because your release build is building for UNICODE.


here's what to do:
Bring up the properties for the project

Make sure the Configuration is showing as Release (top left combobox)

On the left hand side window - Configuration Properties -> General
In the right hand side window - For Character Set select Us eMulti-byte character set

(Check and you will probably find the debug is already set up like this)

Rebuild the release version and see what happens.


You may also need to ensure that Shlwapi.lib library is added to Linker->input->additional Dependencies in the release configuration
