C++ program wont compile

[2dgreengiant]

I keep getting the error:

Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory

Even tho it has been included in the project solution and when I right click on <windows.h> and select 'Open Document 'Windows.h' it takes me to it.

[#ClumsyWizard]

What are you using to compile?

[2dgreengiant]

I have tried Visual Studio 2005 C++ express, Visual Studio 2008 C++ express, Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

Direct help from me.... Not a chance.

Link to help: "windows.h no such file or directory" in Visual Studio 2008! Help - CodeGuru Forums

I'm the idiot who installed Python to start coding, and didn't install C++ to start. Links to aid are all I can provide.

try each one of these separately:
#include <windows.h>
#include "windows.h"
#include <windows>

[2dgreengiant]

Still getting the same issue with both replies

Download Bloodshed Dev C++ and compile with it (unless you are doing GUI).

FF crashed.

I had same problem before 2d, I had to uninstall all things .net and visual studio related then remove the regesteries as well, then I redownloaded visual C++ 2010 and it worked, if you need help unblock me on msn fgt
