Finally, I solved the problem.
I will perhaps create a youtube video tutorial for others, later on.
Here is what I initially didn't noticed:
First, you've got to click File-New-Project
then under "Project Type" highlight Win32
under Templates (on the right side) highlight Win32 Console
Application
then enter a name of your project let's say "Test1" than click ok
then click "Next"
Under Application Type leave "Console Application"
Under Additional Options "Empty Project", then click "Finish"
then, on the left side, under "Solution project"
right click on "Source File" click Add new item
here in the name enter "main.c" or some other name (make sure you
delete pp from .cpp), leave "Location" as it is there
here under "Categories" leave Visual C++ and on the right side, under
"Templates" click on "C++ File (.cpp)
click "add"
and now on the right side paste your code (for ex
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("hello, world\n");
}
then click on "Build Solution" under "Build"
and finally, click on "Start without Debugging" under "Debug"
and you'll get the command prompt with "Hello, world"
I hope this helps any other usenet folks using Vista or
M Visual C++ (or both)
