Right, the application type shall be WIN32. But in this case you have 
another entry called WinMain() instead main(). In my WinMain() I even use 
RegisterClassEx to register an application title and application icons 
(normal and small). Such code ist generated from the MSVC Wizard too (just 
tested with Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express).

int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                       HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                       LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
                       int nCmdShow)
{
        // check windows version
        DWORD dwVersion = GetVersion();

        if (!(dwVersion < 0x80000000))
        {
                MessageBox(0, "This software requires Windows 2000/XP or above!", "Fatal Error", MB_OK);
                return -1;
        }

        // Initialize global strings
        LoadString(hInstance, APPLICATION_TITLE, szWindowClass, MAX_LOADSTRING);
        MyRegisterClass(hInstance);

        return main(__argc, __argv);
}
