You have created a Win32 Application, not a Win32 CONSOLE aplication. In a win32 application the entry point is "Winmain", not "main" like a Win32 console application.

The more simple :

Alt+F7

Choose "Link" tab, replace the line :

/subsystem:console

by

/subsystem:windows

Or you could add this line to the top of your code..

#pragma comment( linker, "/entry:\"mainCRTStartup\"" )

I've been using this for glut apps where I didn't want the extra console window to pop up.
