Just installed Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 - All projects return same error on debug - "error LNK1561: entry point must be defined" and "The system cannot find the file specified (the .exe)"

Question

It never fails, I cannot compile a project. I simply start a new project, select "CLR Empty Project," create said project, then add a Windows Form just to test a simple "Hello World" sort of application but my computer simply will not compile a .exe file no matter what I do. When I go to Project Properties - Configuration Properties - Linker - Advanced - Entry Point, I see a blank space, but this is the default option so I don't know what to do. Help would really be appreciated, I just want to get a project going but things always have to be difficult apparently :( And I literally have changed no code, my project is blank except for adding a Windows Form, so I have no idea why it won't run.

Microsoft has just released VS 2012 RTM. Where did you get it?

Linker tools error LNK1561 for your reference:
