    tchar.h, stdio.h, ... should be located in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include (or wherever you installed it). Are they there?

    No, They Aren't, there are only four files that I am unfamiliar with. Should I freak Out?

    Then your installation is broken.

    Presumably you didn't install it correctly because files are missing. You need to reinstall to make sure the missing files get into place.

    Try to repair the installation in control panel first, but if that don't work, reinstall visual studio. Unless you know where the files went: Then you could just put them back.

    I already have DevC++, can I take files from its include folder and paste it in VS's include folder.
    Or is the problem deeper than that and I will find other problems so I should reinstall it? I want the reinstalling to be my last card, you know.

    Why is it so difficult to reinstall the program?
    I would definitely not recommend that you paste and copy files from another compiler into that directory. It will probably not work very well!

    Repairing the installation is not the same as installing it. You would literally go to the control panel, find the program in the list of removable software, and open the uninstall program, which gives you the option of repairing it. I think that would work in this case, since it should copy over the include folder (as a part of restoring it to the IDE's default state). A reinstall would be first uninstalling the program by way of removing all the folders and registry keys and then reinstalling it, using whatever media you have.

    Do not copy the files from Dev-C++. It would be like replacing parts of a Hebrew Bible with an English one.
