iostream,cons. app.,int main(){return 0;}, Won't link!

[pyromedia]

Anybody know why this does not link?

I have tried google 50 odd ways and nobody else seems to have this
problem
quite. It is meant to be a console application...

#include <iostream>
int main(){return 0;}

Points to note:
1. Strictly .NET 2005 C++ unmanaged.
2. Statically linking in LIBCPMTD.lib
3. Compiling with C++ exceptions enabled, /EHsc
4. XP Pro dev. environment.

Any ideas?

Oh, BTW http://comsc.dvc.edu/UsingVisualStudioNET05.pdf has a demo
which
apparently works... But not for me!

Best guess - your VS2005 installation is messed up somehow. Have you tried
doing a repair install? What edition of VC++ 2005 are you using?

-cd

Hi Carl Daniel,

I know you are highly likely to be right because I did a complete
uninstall of all .NET material and MS applications that rely upon it -
about 9Gb.

Then I ran some registry checks, and EasyCleaner which found around
slight less than 2500 registry debris, mostly left by VS .NET 2005. eg
InProcServer CLSIDs, MRUs.

Finally, I reinstalled VS 2005 and tried out:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World"<<endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

This works along with the tiny snippet I have already put out into the
newsgroup. Unfortunately, ultimately, this has cost me >>40 hours and I
have in sequence conducted a 2K5 repair, a remove&reinstall, and now
finally what I stated above. Hum ho.

I am using final 2K5 Professional - Enterprise Architect is out of my
price range...

Thank you for your contribution.

Hi Carl,
I m also having similar issue , but not in any simple console application.

What i m doing is , that i m migrationg my whole product from VC6 to VC8.
Even I have done it succesfully , but i have got stuck in one place where i
m using some third party LIB , to link with my projects.

I was using same Libraries with VC6.0.
But when I have used these libraries to link with me VC8 code it starts
giving me some issue.


Please help if there is nay solution.
regards , pardeep Kadian
