microsoft visual studio 2008 pro

[optima]

I am very new at this.
I just installed a fresh copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional and this is my first time using the software.
I cant seem to locate the C++ standard library for all the headers and the program wont even recognize <iostream> and wont let me pass debug.
Any advise on what I am missing or what I should do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
THANKS in advance

im using c++ 6.0 so try
<iostream.h>
or try to locate it in you local disk/hardisk......i think all header files were installed on here.....

what kind of project did you build? And could you paste some of your code?

@takemewithyou:
>> try <iostream.h>
No. Don't do that. It's wrong, and it won't help you. That was a 6.0 problem, and was fixed a long time ago.

@optima:
I'm not that familiar with the newest visual studio. You should ask this question on the windows forum, but it's probably something wrong with your project settings. Make sure you have created a standard C++ project.

I am using a portable version of dev-c++ (it's free) and I don't have any problem using it on the computer I unpacked the exe but if I use the compiler on another windows there are some issues with some standard libraryes. For example: if I use only one library/program it works fine, but if I put more than 3 libraryes there is an error. The compiler says that the library cannot be inserted. I had no error on visual c++ 6.0.
