Hello world/Console Project in Visual Studio 2008 64 bit
- by grobartn
So I am trying to run console 64 bit Hello World program.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise x64 bit version.
I have installed Visual Studio 2008 and have added all of components needed for 64 bit.
I want to create simple console application.
It turns out to be a problem.
I have simple standard hello world project.
I have created it using New Project - Empty project.
I added main.cpp that contains this:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "howdy\n";
}
I added new configuration to the project by clicking on Config Manager and added x64 config.
Compiled and it compiles.
Tried running it and cmd.exe shoots up with following error:
"The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is in
correct. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.e
xe tool for more detail.
Press any key to continue . . .
"
Which set-up step if any I am missing.
What am I doing wrong and how should I go about setting simple console hello world in 64 bit world.
Thanks for any help
