Hi, real laughable problem here, but I'm using visual studio 2005 to practice making programs in.
Well, seems I clicked Visual C++ instead of 'normal' C++, and now I cannot seem to find how to change it. When I go File>New>Project there is no option for 'normal' C++.
Also gone Tools>Options>Startup and had no luck.
Could someone tell me what I need to do or where it is, at this rate I'll be re-installing the whole thing just top change it.
Many thanks for any help, it is appreciated!
Visual C++ is the name of Microsoft's C++ suite. There is no "normal C++".
What you likely need is New -> Project -> Win32 -> Win32 Console Application.
Yeah, I tried this but it has the line:-
Code:int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
Normally (the one I want) is just the standard iostream, namespace std one.
It's like I clicked visual c++ by accident and now MS and hidden my normal choice to force me into the visual C++
No, they have not hidden anything. There is nothing wrong with that line.
But if you're picky, you can change it to:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
But I'm thinking you used a Win32 project (not console).
They can't "force" you into "Visual C++" because it doesn't exist.
Visual C++ is the name of the program, nothing more.
Follow the instructions and make a new project for console.
OK no worries.
Thanks for your help Elysia.
Appreciated :)
Sure, no problem. Good luck.
