The option to make a Win32 app (i.e. one with a WinMain() entry point) directly was removed from the
Express Edition, because it's pointless to be able to make one without the Platform SDK and that
doesn't come bundled with this edition. However you can make one easily enough; just make a Win32
Console app, then change the properties afterwards. On the Linker -> System tab change the SubSystem
to Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS), and on the C/C++ -> Preprocessor tab change the _CONSOLE definition
to _WINDOWS. You should now be in the same state you'd be in if you'd created the file as a Win32
app (at least this works on previous versions of VC...) Note you need a .cpp file in the project for
the C/C++ tab to appear.
