Hi there, just started learning to program c++.
I am running Visual C++ 2008 Express edition and using the command line compiler.
When I try to compile the basic "hello world" application, I get this error.


Sample.cpp(1) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream': No such
file or directory.

I have tried both <iostream.h> and just <iostream>. I am also using "using namespace std;"

I tried searching google and these forums but the most common error is people are still using iostream.h when that has actually been deprecated I believe.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

use /showIncludes when compiling to get an idea of what goes wrong.

also showing us some code wouldn't harm..

Thanks for the response bonarez.

I found out that the directories that it was looking for the includes folder was incorrect and it is fixed now

start a new empty project. After you include iostream, make sure that you use: using namespace std; //for cin/cout etc

Using these header file
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
