Get Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. It's free and has basically everything you need, and last forever. Although after a couple of months it will ask a for a registration key, just hit the registration but and get your key.

But it doesn't let me compile unless i build a project, cant it be as simple as dev-cpp cuz i no nothing bout projects Shocked

Make a project of course.
For Win32 C++ just choose
New Project -> Visual C++ -> Win32 -> Win32 Project
Probly best to choose "Empty Project" and add a source file and code from scratch Wink

i dont like precompiled headers that much, they just annoy me.

Did you modify any project creation paths?
did you try to load it from that path?
try release build instead of debug?

I did not modify any project creation paths

- create new win32 project (Console application) (empty project)
- right click Source folder and hit "Add Item"
- Add a cpp source file
- Code your hello world.
- Run

Building the file creates the main executable in the Debug/Release Folder (depending on build mode) so go to the project directory and go to the main folder (before u enter to the source files, the project folder) and go into the debug/release folder and just run the executable there.

New Project -> Visual C++ -> Win32 -> Win32 Project -> Empty Project -> New -> C++ File (.cpp) -> Code -> Save -> Build Solution -> Same Error -> .CPP File In Same Place As Where I Open The Project

You sure you got the platform SDK installed too?

If you are unsure what it is, you don't have it then. Which is why you can't compile. You need it installed to do anything with the express editions of Visual Studio. Microsoft should really make the print saying you need it a bit bigger on the page :s (Oh nice they removed it from the page..)

You can download the Platform SDK here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0BAF2B35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=en

You need a valid copy of Windows to download it. Once installed you need to setup the paths to the include and lib files inside the IDE options to have it work correctly.

Hehe the SDK came with the Express Edition. Must be new that they're not giving it with the installer anymore...
