help with VS 2008 new install

[cartercc]

I have both VS 2005 and a brand new version of 2008. I can use VB, C#,
and J#, but CANNOT use C++ at all.

I click File->New->Project. I then select Visual C++m Win32, Win32
Console application, enter a name and click OK. The next dialog box is
the 'Welcome to the Win 32 Application Wizard, and everything freezes.
When I click Finish ... nothing. When I click Cancel ... nothing. The
only thing I can do is close the application.

As I said, this happens with both 2005 and 2008, but only with C++,
not any of the other languages.

Please help, if you can.

Thanks, CC.

Which edition(s) of VS 2005 and VS 2008 are you using?

Which edition(s) of VS 2005 and VS 2008 are you using?

I decided to do a fresh install last night, so I uninstalled all VS
applications and components and started from scratch. I am using the
following:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.21011.8RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5

Same problem. I can use VB, C# and J#, but I cannot create a C++
project no matter what I do.

Thanks for your help, CC.

Again, which EDITION?

Express, Standard, Professional, Team System?

I also have to wonder about your reference to J# in VS 2008. It was
discontinued after VS 2005 and is not in VS 2008.

Sorry. Professional. I set up J# as an add on. I do some Java and
don't really need an MS environment to to Java.
