This could be a number of things...first and foremeost, have you specified the project type as a win32 project, instead of a console project (it needs to be win32). Second, are you using standard C++ or managed C++ (I note you are using Visual Studio 2005). Thirdly, have to treid completely closing that project, and starting another with the same code, then compiling?

Now I notice that when I copy that code paste in my other C++ computer.
Dev-C++ that same code compiled with no Error.
Now I ask what do you think is wrong with my Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.
1-If you use Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition can you compile this code and tell me if it compile without Error.


Thanks for the repliers.

I believe the Express editions come without the Win32 SDK.

search around www.microsoft.com for the Win32 SDK

The error is saying:

Error 1 fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory c:\documents and settings\quim Costa\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\march 25\march 25\main.cpp 1
By that I would say: or I wrotewindows.h wrong or VC++ could not find the windows.h header file
Do you think that if I use $(Dev-C++\include) on the VC++ directory it would work.

There is nothing wrong with your version...it is functioning as designed.

Mrafcho001 is saying that the Express edition, which you are using, may not include the win32 SDK (very likely, as the Express edition is a cut down version)...if that is the case, you will need that SDK to compile win32 programs. Since you are using the Express edition, you'll need to take some additonal steps...they are outlined here:
