Just install VS with C++ packages. From there create a C++ project.

This assumes they're running Windows, of course.

Also note that C and C++ are not the same language. (And no, C is not just a subset of C++). Visual C++ is not very good at strict C. If you want to learn ISO C99 i'd suggest another compiler.

+1 for this comment. I really start to cringe when people say "C/C++", because they are just entirely different languages. Yes, C++ is upwards compatible with C (with small syntactic changes, perhaps), but they can and should be used in very different ways.

Use CodeBlocks. It's a simple and good IDE.
