setting up VS

[TheBean]

I need visual studio community for my class. I installed it but I think there might have been some problems because I can't even run the default hello world without 411 errors. I think it might be because I didn't install some of the optional stuff checked by default but i'm not sure. 

 

Here is the default code I have:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

 

 

I installed the "Desktop Environment with C++" during the installer with the following optional packages:

• MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ build tools ... (v14.27)
• just in time debugger
• live share
• text template transformation
• C# and visual basic compilers
• C++ 2019 redist update
• msbuild
• c++ core features
• intellicode
•  

is there anything else I should have installed?

 

I am on windows 10 64bit

 

 

 

 

Edit: here is the error log:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World!\n";
    return 0;
}

 try adding a return 0; at the end?

I scrolled through the errors to see if I could find out anything. turns out, one of the errors mentioned the windows sdk (which I do not have installed). 

I will update you once its installed.

That worked. I just installed the Windows SDK and it started working. thanks @Moonzy anyway.

but yea, you should add a return 0 at the end because your main function type is int

some softwares help you add it, but it's a good habit

Thats odd that the Windows SDK was not installed. I am almost positive that it should be installed along with the C++ extensions for VS. But that's good that you caught that. You did better than most at reading through the errors that the IDE gives you lol.

The only reason I caught that is because I unchecked many "optional" stuff the installer marked for me. So there was a high chance that the problem was there.
