Visual studio 2015 gives me errors upon creating a simple test console program

Question

Here is the code I am using.

#include \"stdafx.h\"
#include 

int main() {
    std::cout << \"hi\";

    return 0;
}

Answer 1

I know I am a bit late to this but instead of messing with the path settings, in Visual Studio 2017 you can

• right-click the project
• select retarget projects
• select the latest or any new version of windows SDK and click OK

This will automatically take care of all include paths and libraries.
