Answer 1

You created a Win32-Project! Make sure that you choose Console Application in the project wizard.

Answer 2

Look at your project property. Just go to project settings, linker settings, then system. Check your subsystem setting.You can change subsystem to "not set".It will link based on which entry point function you have defined.
