manifest tools Embed Manifest no

Try also changing the destination of the project to something simpler and not that long since I believe I also had the same error when the destination was too long.

Also did you choose a console application when creating the project?

If that didn't help, google gave this as possible answers too :

• "You could try going to your project's Properties > Configuration Properties > Manifest Tool > Input and Output, and set your "Embed Manifest" option to "No"."

• "I had a similar problem like this a few months ago and I solved it by going to project -> properties -> Configuration Properties -> General -> Character set. Under character set I changed it to Use Multi-Byte Character Set and then my compliment issue went away."

Edit:

In regard to the latest error link here directly from microsoft. I'm afraid that from this point on it's google time as I'm all out of ideas if it doesn't work.

The link says : "As a workaround for Beta1 you can change the entry point to use "wmain" instead of "main" or change the character set of your project to use "Multi-Byte Character Set""

Easiest would be to just change the name of main to wmain then.
