Stroustrup, std_lib_facilities.h and load of error

[TadyZ]

Hello!

at the moment i'm reading Stroustrup "Programming principles and practice using C++". I need to write my first program, "Hello, World", it uses std_lib_facilities.h header file.

Today i've installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. Compiler finds the std_lib_facilities.h file(i've done everything by the book) and then gives my loads of errors:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

i use the std_lib_facilities.h file from Stroustrup website. \

So what is the problem?
