Don't run it from inside VC++.  Compile it, build an executeable, then run
the executable from the command line.

You might want to take a look at the Win32 version [0] that's on
Snort.org.  I'd suggest that you download that, install it, and work with
it for a bit.  Then uninstall it, and build your own (if thats a
requirement).

Cheers!
