Do you have
int main()
{
...
return 0;
}

in your application?

If the program you have written is a windows program and your using Visual Studio then make sure your project is set to compile a windows application and not a console application. You can find that out in your project settings under the C/C++ tab in the preprocessor definitions text box.
