c++

[gmstrasser]

long story. short version! I wanted to program in c++ so bought what i was told - Visual Studio 2010 Professional. So now what???? I can't find c++. I think everyting is installed. I just want a desktop icon that sends me to an IDE like the 2010 express edition free download.Is that possible? Thanks

So wait..you bought a 1000$ program...and you're on an Internet forum asking how to OPEN it.

Just because it costs more, doesn't make it better, which seems to be the common conception.

Im guessing you pirated it, please dont respond to that.

I recommend Dev-C++
Comes with everything you need without all the crap. Simplifier and faster.

About the problem, C++ is Not On The Menu for me either, instead it is it's own program on the start menu, unsure why.

Dev-C++ is ancient. It hasn't been updated in like 5 years.

MSVS is way, way better. Though I agree it has some bloat.

Medium Support Vehicle System?
well, you have support so make a call.

I use Visual Studio for work, and you do not open the C++ version like you do for the Express Editions. You open Visual Studio itself (from the start menu, derp) and then create a C++ project using the New Project wizards from within the IDE.
