Solve "LINK : fatal error LNK1561: the entry point must be defined" - visual-studio

I am working with Visual Studio Ultimate 2012.
If I run the code from Visual Studio it works properly. But if I take the ".exe" file that it generates at the Debug file it doesn't in another computer.
That is why I change the menu from "Debug" to "Release", but then it doesn't compile and shows the message: "LINK : fatal error LNK1561: the entry point must be defined"
What do I have to change at the configuration to create a ".exe" that works in any computer?
I have a main defined in the project as void main(array<String^>^ arg)

Seems the signature of the main function is wrong. The expected signature for the EntryPoint main function should have int return type in VS2012.
Please try changing signature of function to:
int main(array<String^>^ arg)
This may resolve your problem.

Trying to Add a Reference to Visual Studio Project Suddenly Throws an Exception

When I try to ADD a REFERENCE to any Visual Studio project...I am suddenly getting the following exception:
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component
This happens across ALL projects regardless of whether they are source-controlled (or not)
SIDE NOTE:
I did recently install Xamarin on a SEPARATE PROJECT in another TFS SOLUTION
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR:
Delete all *.suo files
Delete all *.user files
Wiped the TFS Workspace & done a FORCE GET
Nothing has worked
The FIRST TIME you get this error message you'll get a window with a reference to the following file:
ActivityLog.xml: This file contains information about the underlying error.
If you ignore the message & click away from the initial dialog, THE ERROR GETS SUPPRESSED and is replaced with:
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
If you look in this file you will see the error. This particular exception was was caused by:
Microsoft.visualstudio.shell.interop.IVsReferenceManager2
Within the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.11.0.dll library.
This post helped me solve the issue!
THE FIX IS:
Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017" as an Administraor
CD into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies"
Run "gacutil -i Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.11.0.dll"
After a restart, it all worked well.

Basic Programming Error in T24 Design Studio

Below is my code.
SUBROUTINE HELLO
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Modification History :
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$INSERT I_COMMON
$INSERT I_EQUATE
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRT "HELLOW WORLD"
END
I'm trying to compile above code in T24 Design Studio using TAFJ but it generates below error.
17/01/2019 10:50:47 Compiling HELLO... ERROR
Error : (line 19) HELLO, Cannot find Insert 'I_EQUATE'
Error : (line 12) HELLO.b, No component defined. $PACKAGE is mandatory !
Compilation completed for 1 file(s). 2 errors
Need to know how to resolve this issue.
The first error "Cannot find Insert 'I_EQUATE'" means the compiler cannot find the insert file which is usually located inside t24lib. You have to right click on your project and select "Toggle TAFJ project nature", then provide location to t24lib folder with the T24 core libraries (temn.tafj.directory.precompile parameter in TAFJ conf properties).
Second error means that you should follow the TAFJ componentisation framework and you should have a .component and $PACKAGE keyword in routine indicating the package name. You can override this check by putting a "Dunce cup" on the folder where you have the routine.

Visual studio - how to check what DLLs does my program need to run/what DLLs are missed?

I've just downloaded the Visual Studio 2017 Community.
Once I try to compile any program (even the simplest "Hello World") with any configuration (release/debug, x86/x64, empty project/windows console application), I get the following error:
Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(381,5): error MSB6006: error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515 (This error means STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND, I know it's been asked before, but I don't know how to check what DLLs are missed).
Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(381):
<CL Condition="'%(ClCompile.PrecompiledHeader)' != 'Create' and
'%(ClCompile.ExcludedFromBuild)'!='true' and
'%(ClCompile.CompilerIteration)' == '' and #(ClCompile) != ''"
Do you know how to check what DLLs are missing?
I'm new but i hope I'll answer quite properly. To reach the actual error code you need to change it to hex. Yours is
C0000135
. As far as I know it's file damage related,so you're right about dll missing. In older visuals the way to know it was via command line.
Ran msbuild.exe <my.sln> /t:<mytargetproject> from a VS2010 command prompt, where <my.sln> is your solution name and <mytargetproject> is the project you are trying to build. For e.g. msbuild.exe helloworld.sln /t:mainproj.
That is a cite from different post in stackoverflow.

Hope it will be easier for you to resolve problem with this. Can't help more as I don't use VS neither Windows. Good luck!

LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined on SystemC on Visual Studio 2015

When trying to build a simple helloworld program, the next error shows up
LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined
I'm trying to use the systemc library in Visual Studio 2015, maybe thats the problem because, I couldn't find any help configuring this VS for systemc only for VS2010. The program is the following:
// All systemc modules should include systemc.h header file
#include "systemc.h"
// Hello_world is module name
SC_MODULE (hello_world) {
SC_CTOR (hello_world) {
// Nothing in constructor
}
void say_hello() {
//Print "Hello World" to the console.
cout << "Hello World.\n";
}
};
// sc_main in top level function like in C++ main
int sc_main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
hello_world hello("HELLO");
// Print the hello world
hello.say_hello();
return(0);
}
The curious thing is that if I exchange the sc_main for main it builds but doesn't work.
Your code is fine so you have a build issue. Check that you are pointing to the correct SystemC include and systemc.lib file.
There are issues with building current SystemC 2.3.1 in Visual Studio 2015. http://forums.accellera.org/topic/5026-microsoft-visual-studio-community-2015/
VS2013 works fine.

Error during compilation of the code using make file in VC++

I am using below snippet in my code.
//from Vista WinNT.h
//
typedef struct _TOKEN_MANDATORY_LABEL {
SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES Label;
} TOKEN_MANDATORY_LABEL, *PTOKEN_MANDATORY_LABEL;
When I build this through VS2005 it give no error. But when I am building using make file i am getting below error in cmd:
Test.cpp(337) : error C2011: '_TOKEN_MANDATORY_LABEL' : 'struct' type redefinition
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\include\winnt.h(7351) : see declaration of '_TOKEN_MANDATORY_LABEL'
I am using Opus software to use make file. Please let me know if I am missing something or needs to add some libs to overcome this error.
