    Problem with Visual C++ 6.0

    Hello every one. I just got XP and I installed Visual Studio 6.0 on my computer. When I opened Visual C++ 6.0 I wanted to compile a free-bug error code. Then I checked it with a regular simple code like the "Hello World" program. It didnt't work. It said an error. Why?? It was a simple code that every code should have compiled. Well, if need here is the code I put:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
     cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;
    return 0;
    }
    And here comes the error from Visual C++ 6.0 :

    Code:
    --------------------Configuration: Code - Win32 Debug-------------------
    Compiling...
    Code.cpp
    Linking...
    libcpd.lib(wiostrea.obj) : fatal error LNK1143: invalid or corrupt file: no symbol for comdat section 0x105
    Error executing link.exe.
    
    Code.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    Please can anyone help me?? I don't want a good compiler wasted along with a lot of money. Thankyou!

    First off, have you downloaded and installed the latest service pack (SP6)?

    Second, what type of project did you create initially? When you create a new project, you are asked what type of project you want created. You should have selected a "Win32 Console Application".

    Lastly, you might want to check here for a highly recommended list of fixes to several of the headers.

    Now, it compiles, thankyou. But when the program ends, it doesn't say:
    Press any key to continue . . .
    why? Can I fix it??
