Hello,
I downloaded the CUDA installation pack and the installation went alright I think. But the CUDA getting started guide says check if samples are working. I have never used Visual Studio before. I got it just so I could start learning how to use CUDA. I opened the VS project file and then clicked on build and it gave me an error. I have posted the errors here. I tried to do it via command prompt but I got the same result. I am not an experienced programmer and I just needed to use CUDA for my physics simulations as part of my PHD. I hope someone will be able to help me out here. My operating system is Windows 7 (64bit). I am suing Visual Studio 2012 pro from dreamspark.

This could be a very very trivial thing I am sure but I really cannot get it to work. Thanks!
