How do I compile this?
Hi,
I'm new to C++ but not new to programming.
I need to compile the following code at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/seccrypto/security/example_c_program_using_cryptprotectdata.asp?frame=true
I have Visual Studio 2005 with C++. Could anyone please tell me how to compile the code in the site above?
When I try to compile I get errors.
The code above is just an example.
If you are able to get me a code with a working CryptProtectData function (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/seccrypto/security/cryptprotectdata.asp) - Then that will do too, since that is what I need.
Thank you in advance,

I created C++ Win32 Console application in VC++ 2005 and pasted this code to it. I got only two errors:
Function exit is not defined - I added stdlib.h include
Unresolved external symbols - I added Crypt32.lib to the list of Linker dependencies.
Program is build correctly.

Hi,
Ok well Im new to C++, so I simply open a new project in Visual Studio, then in the main cpp file I paste the complete source.
First error I get is: "fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source?"
So I add the line "#include <stdafx.h>" to the source. Then it gives many errors:

Thank you very much.

I have one more question,
where do I now find the compiled .exe file?

Nevermind ;-)
Can you post a copy of the compile-time errors you get? That'll help out quite a bit. It's likely not the code that's the problem, but rather the build environment.
