I am contemplating learning C++ soon and I was wondering if someone could recommend to me a good IDE/Compiler. I have tried Code::Blocks but it wont work and i can't seem to get VC++ My OS is Windows Vista | |

Code::Blocks won't work? Did you remember to reconfirm your confirmation while running as Admin in Vista? :P J/K but really from what I've seen of that platform it's going to be painful to program on. What error do you get with Code::Blocks? Since niether IDE has worked for you I'd imagine we're hitting a different issue then compatibility. | |

the error is that <iostream> isn't in the directory and for VC++ it says i need a service pack but i see no sign of the service pack anywhere oh sorry i should have mention also that it was the expess edition of VC++ | |

I'm not yelling, I'm making sure you read the following INSTALL THE SERVICE PACK UPDATE FOR WINDOWS VISTA BEFORE MAKING YOUR NEXT POST | |

Right Click on My Computer in your start menu and select Properties Some where on the screen that pops up it will say "Service Pack..." What does that say? EDIT: Also, are you running as a limited user? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb738089 | |

Just go to "Windows Update"; the service pack should be available through that. As for Code::Blocks, did you definitely download and install "Code::Blocks with MinGW" rather than just "Code::Blocks" by itself? | |
|

| yes it was the binary download with MinGW setup | |

I would almost certainly go for Dev-C++. LOL. Just kidding, I don't use, old, and out-of-date software; I use Visual C++ Express 2010. Wazzak | |

@Framework Lol, as I read the first half of your post, I was already priming myself to fly into an all encompassing rage XD I use VCE as well :) | |

@OP Just in case you didn't realise, don't use DevC++ :p Go to the Code::Blocks installation folder, then MinGW and see if you can find iostream in there. | |

^I think he was referring the VCE, not DevC++. Anyway, VCE is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CPP | |

| @Xander nooooo i ment VCE not that DevC++ crap | |
|

| @firedraco I see - that makes more sense. As for the link, the OP had trouble with a service pack necessary to install it.. | |

There's no reason Code::Blocks wouldn't work if it was set up properly (which is as easy as running the installer). You probably created a C project instead of a C++ project. If not, post the code you're trying to compile. | |
