Need some Help Please !!

Hi Everybody, I am new to this programming side. I Like to learn about c++. I found an simple tutorial to make trough c++. I wrote the codes correctly. When i compile there is no errors. But when i execute .exe [CTRL+F5] there are 2 errors. does any body have any solution for these errors?

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
OS - Windows XP Professional Service pack 3

This is the code what i am working with

Code:

---

// my first program in c++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
        cout << "Hello World!/n";
        cout << "I'm a C++ Programer";
        return 0;

}

This is the message which appears when i compile it.

does any body have any idea about this ?
I am glad to see a solution for this.

Does your exe build ok in the log though? Force a rebuild and check the messages at that stage, Have you compiled, built and run any other programs with this IDE, I imagine not given the code content, but any success using other environments? Check your project linking options also.

no. it doesnt build. it stops with those errors. this error comes now when executing the exe.

Really this is a google job:

google search results

I googled about this like about a day.. but still not reasonable solution. thats why i tried to post this problem on this website.

So you checked all the project linking options etc? Are you on a 64 bit machine? What is the OS? There is a lot of help in those goole search links, What did you try from those and what was the result of those steps?

I checked almost every thing on google search results.. but no solution still.
I am running Windows 7 . in it VMware and inside it is Windows xp professional 32bit.

I went around the linking options. but i cant find a way to correct this. do you have any idea please??

I'm sorry i cant help any further as this is not an issue i have ever had, and if it were me i would have googled and tried that way, after doing my usual project build checks, I beleive this to be a system specific issue, ie your machine so i would do standard troubleshooting tests like write a new project and test that, test your installation package on a different machine, reinstall the IDE if it has never worked before, install a different IDE like codeblocks and test with that to see if anything at all can be made to build and run on your OS and hardware,

You created a Win32 application, not a Win32 Console application.

Under Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->System change SubSystem from Windows to Console.

i am using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. There is no thing like that under project.
There is a option called settings. but still there is no option called Configuration Properties > Linker..... etc..

Yes i have choosen Win32 application..

Well I certainly don't have a 10+ year old version of Visual Studio lying around to find the correct settings for you, so experiment. You don't want the Win32 Application, you want a Console application.

Upgrade to Visual Studio 2008/2010. Then repeat the steps outlined.
