Hi, I've been trying to make my life a little more miserable for a few days now and I'm trying to compile this C++ code. I should clarify that my knowledge of C++ is zero and even Visual Studio is unfamiliar to me (Yes, I'm a Notepad++ user). After following a few tutorials and YouTube videos, I was able to compile the code without errors, but when I run the updater, it throws up a "Failed to create window" message. Googling and checking the code, it looks like the window is never registered. After applying some changes suggested by ChatGPT, the updater runs without that error, but eventually gets stuck in an infinite loop, collapsed, and nothing happens.
Any recommendations or advice are welcome. I want to clarify that for the libraries I use vcpkg and Visual Studio 2022 (maybe this can cause some conflict (?))
C++:
WNDCLASSEXW wcex;
wcex.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wcex.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wcex.lpfnWndProc = _WndProc;
wcex.cbClsExtra = 0;
wcex.cbWndExtra = 0;
wcex.hInstance = hInstance;
wcex.hCursor = LoadCursor(nullptr, IDC_ARROW);
wcex.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
wcex.lpszMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCEW(IDC_CPP_GAME_LAUNCHER);
wcex.lpszClassName = Constants::GUID.c_str();
RegisterClassExW(&wcex);
hWnd = CreateWindowExW(0, Constants::GUID.c_str(), szWindowTitle, WS_POPUP | WS_MINIMIZEBOX,
windowX, windowY, windowWidth, windowHeight, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
if (!hWnd)
throw std::logic_error("Failed to create window!");
