Microsoft Visual c++ Nightmare @,@

omg. this was the compiler from hell! it self.so i install microsoft visual C++. and then i go watch a few/ tuts on the basics of C++ but when i try to compile my very simple hello world program!!! Blam!!!!!

i get a hideous

Error message. i was confused and scared i already wanted to just quit!!

. but i never give up. well i once again turned to my best friend Google. for help. so i Google the error message "The application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." but still no luck . so i just mess around with the settings determined to fix this issue.when i come across my control panel and see that when i go to build and click on configuration manager. i noticed that debug was the option selected and no release. i felt so stupid

but my issue was over i set it to release and tried to compile again. and blam!!!!

it Worked!!!!! i hope my horrible Microsoft visual c++ story has helped any one. this story was real. it really happened to me. i just figured it out about 15 minutes ago and i thought it might help some lost noob.

who is a bout to give up on a wonderful. experience.i will up load an image showing where the mistake i made was an hopefully this will help someone.

Colourful post.

I don't see how having it in debug mode or release mode should have effected it though.

i have no idea but it worked after i put it in release.do you have Microsoft visual 2008????

Uhh so it worked or failed? Lol

Muwahaha! Welcome to Visual Studios C++ ! haha ... xD

This is why I so highly recommend an easier compiler like Bloodshed Dev-C++. It's not like starting off in VB with Microsoft's compiler. Trying to master VS is almost as hard as learning C++. Lol YOu should see my first time with VS.... let me see if I can find it.

Lol, Oh yeh... good times those were

AssemblyInfo? you're not trying to compile a .net project are you?
new>project>win32 console app(not .net console app)

Visual C++ was extra confusing the first time I tried to use it. I'm just now getting used to making empty projects and putting my own files in it. xD o_o I think I need to reformat though, my PC crashes after I compile/link/run the program and try to close Visual C++

lol no i am a c++ Noob so i was trying to make a console application while following a tut i was reading.

im pretty sure there shouldnt be an assemblyinfo and a resource file in a console project o__O
new project>win32 project settings>console app>empty aplication>copy&paste:

Code:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

done

Same here. I always use empty project to avoid such confusion... What kind of project do you think he might have done? ;l

.net console project I guess, that has the same files as his shows

^ That.

By default it will select .NET Projects in VS.NET and you have to manually pick a project template from the Win32 Area instead. just a little Gotcha
