VS 2010 error - cannot open file “iostream”

Question

I\'ve just migrated from VS2005 to VS2010 and it fails to compile a simple program.

#include 
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main()
{         


        

Answer 1

The system could not find the Visual C++ compiler (CL.exe)...

Things you should try:

• Rerun the Visual Studio 2010 installer and make sure you selected to install Visual C++ tools for your platform (either x86 or amd64).

• Run the installer in repair mode.

If this does not solve your problem:

• Try to run Visual Studio 2010 Uninstall Utility (by Microsoft) and then try installing VS 2010 again.
