Direct2D Tutorial Window No-Show - c++

Question

I'm trying to use MSDN's Direct2D basic tutorial, but the window won't show up, it output's the normal debug info, but no window. I've tried playing about with the WinMain() parameters and the ShowWindow() function, but it still refuses to work. Allso in the debug info there's this, but i don't think it's relevant. \NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager\nvdxgiwrap.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.
Here's the code.
#include "RenderHeader.h"
//Main window function.
int WINAPI WinMain(
HINSTANCE /* hInstance */,
HINSTANCE /* hPrevInstance */,
LPSTR /* lpCmdLine */,
int /* nCmdShow */)
{
// Use HeapSetInformation to specify that the process should
// terminate if the heap manager detects an error in any heap used
// by the process.
// The return value is ignored, because we want to continue running in the
// unlikely event that HeapSetInformation fails.
HeapSetInformation(NULL, HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption, NULL, 0);
if (SUCCEEDED(CoInitialize(NULL)))
{
{
GameRender app;
if (SUCCEEDED(app.Initialize()))
{
//Runs the application message loop.
app.RunMessageLoop();
}
}
CoUninitialize();
}
return 0;

Assuming that "RenderHeader.h" exists in your project's directory and it includes the windows header, then your problem is that you're not passing WinMain the variables it needs to function. 'HINSTANCE', 'LPSTR' and 'int' are all variable types, but you need to give them a name, otherwise they don't exist and the function won't work.
So this would be right
int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int uCmdShow )
{
// The rest of the code
}
The names of the variables are commented out on the code in your question :P
