Visual C++ Install Ok but cannot compile example

  • Vitalijus

    I have the exact same error as the poster, but do not understand the solution. How do I include this 'User32.lib' Thank you.

  • theinspector

    Sorry I am replying, but I couldn't figure out how to 'edit' (since I just posted anyway it shouldn't bump the thread). The solution was that I was changing 'CoreWin' instead of 'CoreWin_Express'.

    You have not include User32.lib...
