Ok I am in dire need of some help here :/

I cant even get a hello world console app to work.
I downloaded Visual C++ 2005 express beta 2, and the Platform SDK.
I just chose to do a Win32 console application, chose to use the pre compiled header, and typed in the very simple code.


#include "stdafx.h"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;
return 0;
}


When I go to compile it, I get a compiler error saying:
Build started: Project: Hello World, Configuration: Debug Win32
Compiling...
Hello World.cpp
c:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\hello world\hello world.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open precompiled header file: 'Debug\Hello World.pch': No such file or directory
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Hello World\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
Hello World - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Whats going on here? :/ What am I doing wrong.

Did you perhaps select to "compile" just the .cpp file, (e.g. by hitting CTRL/F7) rather than "build" the entire project (e.g. by hitting F7). If you haven't "built" the project then it hasn't created the "precomiled header" files.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream> // you need this header

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
std::cout<<"Hello World!"<<std::endl;
 return 0;
}

Notice the <iostream> header file and the std namespace. I think this should compile.

Try after headers:

using namespace std;
