How to avoid precompiled headers

Question

I am trying to compile a simple VS program in C++ as an assignment for class. We only ever include and I keep getting this error:

Answer 1

You can create an empty project by selecting the "Empty Project" from the "General" group of Visual C++ projects (maybe that project template isn't included in Express?).

To fix the problem in the project you already have, open the project properties and navigate to:

Configuration Properties | C/C++ | Precompiled Headers

And choose "Not using Precompiled Headers" for the "Precompiled Header" option.
