By the way…

… I decided to create a small base project, so that I don’t have to start with the dull stuff. The base project contains some code (< 100 lines), which sets up a simple SFML window and runs a game loop. Furthermore, the package contains all needed SFML binaries and a Visual Studio project with settings I prefer over VS’ default settings.

The whole package can be found here: http://a.pomf.se/jb64h.zip

Cheers!
