Totally new user having startup problems.

Hi, I've decided to get stuck into learning the C++ language, I've downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ express along with the Windows SDK and configured express to use it.

Now all i'm trying to do is execute this simple "hello world" program,

-------------------------------

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Hi";
	cin.get();

	return 1;
}

-------------------------------

However the debugger is giving me this;

'Hello World.exe': Loaded 'C:\Documents and Settings\Gareth\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Hello World\Hello World\Debug\Hello World.exe', Symbols loaded.
'Hello World.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello World.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello World.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT_1fc 8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50215.4652_x-ww_a12cf373\msvcr80d.dll', No symbols loaded.
'Hello World.exe': Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll', No symbols loaded.
The program '[2784] Hello World.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I get a command window open but it instantly closes itself again.

any ideas?

Thanks, Gareth.

Yup.

Code:

#include <iostream>  // no .h

using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout << "Hi";
    cin.get();

    return 0;  // 0 indicates success; 1 indicates failure. Return 0.
}

If that still doesn't work, execute the program from the command line. Or . . . no, wait! I have it! don't execute the program from the debugger. The debugger always does that. Just choose Compile->Run or something.
