I coldn't create new project it got stoped if load classess and the compile is unvisible etc. I just can open some exist project. Even 'hello world' didn't work... I didn't find any good sites about visual c++... Help give me tips maybe it's to old 4.0??? HELP

I'm confiusing

That can be remedied with a dictionary.


Version 4.0 is very old. It should still compile basic stuff fine, though. The following instructions work for later versions; you may have to hunt around a bit for the equivalent options in 4.0.

Try:
New > Project > Console Application

Add files to it by:
New > File > etc.
and selecting "Add to project."

That'll let you make a basic 'Hello world' style program.


It is called Visual C++ because it does have a visual interface like Delphi. You probably just haven't selected the correct project type to see it.

I would suggest downloading the Visual C++ 2005 Beta from Microsoft - it is free. You can also download Bloodshed's Dev-C++ (

http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html)

which is a commonly used free development environment for beginners that is not so old as VC++ 4.0.

Where did you download Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 from the Microsoft website. I enjoy using the older languages, and I am trying to get ahold of C++ 4.0. Thanks
