I recently installed VS2010 Ultimate. I’m trying to create a MFC dialog based program. I use the built in template, take all the default options, and then compile the project. I then get the following link errors.

I’ve tried reinstalling VS2010 and made sure I had C++ installed, but I still get the errors. I’ve tried making the Multiple document and Single document types, these both work. So it’s only the Dialog based one that has errors.
Thanks,
John.
You have to link with MFC. Go to Project – > Project Property -> Configuration Properties -> In “Use of MFC” put “Use MFC in a Static Library”
