Getting Started

I have just bought the engine and want to start a new project and am unable to. I have started a new win32 console application and copied the 'getting started example'. But when I compile the program I get 40 link errors. Here are some of them. Can anyone help me please?

Have a look in the example projects compile settings. In VC6, under the link tab, will be the libraries. Remember to set them for release and debug.
Also, games for the Reaction Engine should be win32 application, not a console app.
