Fatal error: “No Target Architecture” in Visual Studio

Question

When I try to compile my c++ project using Visual Studio 2010 in either Win32 or x64 mode I get the following error:

>C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDK

Answer 1

_WIN32 identifier is not defined.

use #include

MSVS generated projects wrap this include by generating a local "targetver.h"which is included by "stdafx.h" that is comiled into a precompiled-header through "stdafx.cpp".

EDIT : do you have a /D "WIN32" on your commandline ?
