Hello, I have been trying a hello world program written using Windows code, not C++ (printf("hello world") and I tried it on my computer with Windows XP. It didn't work (not surprised, XP has a shitload of problems). It does work on my other computer that has Windows 98 (Probably because XP is NTFS, not FAT32?) Heres my error: --------------------Configuration: win32_2 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... win32_2.cpp Command line error D2027 : cannot execute 'c1xx' Error executing cl.exe. win32_2.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) Heres the code: #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd) { MessageBox(NULL, "\tHello, World!", "My First Windows Application", NULL); return 0; } If anyone can give me any help or direction in what to do, it will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you could tell us how you''ve tried to do it, and what happens.

heh...oops...

Heres my error:

--------------------Configuration: win32_2 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
win32_2.cpp
Command line error D2027 : cannot execute ''c1xx''
Error executing cl.exe.

win32_2.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


Heres the code:

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int

nShowCmd)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "\tHello, World!", "My First Windows Application", NULL);
return 0;
}

Try creating a new project from scratch and move your source files in it.

IndirectX - That didnt work

I had no problems compiling/running with VC++ .NET and VC++ 6.0 in WinXP.

Have you tried reinstalling your VC UNDER XP?

When you installed MSVC did you turn off your Norton Antivirus. Sometimes you have to turnoff it off while installing Micro$oft products.
