SYMPTOMS
The linker generates the following error, when you build an MFC application with UNICODE support using the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article:
Visual C++ .NET:
CAUSE
MFC UNICODE applications use wWinMainCRTStartup as the entry point.
RESOLUTION
In the Output category of the Link tab in the Project Settings dialog box, set the Entry Point Symbol to wWinMainCRTStartup.
For Visual C++ .NET: In the Advanced category of the Linker folder in the Project Properties dialog box, set the Entry Point to wWinMainCRTStartup.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
