cageman Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Hey guys. I hope this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to learn some c++ and i am doing something wrong it seems. I am trying to compile this simple program in visual studio 2010 professional and using Microsoft .NET framework 4.0. I checked the directory and the file exists in the exact same directory shown in the error message. Here is my source, although it should be 100% correct: #include <iostream> using std::cout; using std::endl; int main() { cout << "Hello World!" << endl; return 0; } When i try to it produces this error: Error 1 error MSB4014: The build stopped unexpectedly because of an internal failure. Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.BuildAbortedException: Build was canceled. MSBuild.exe could not be launched as a child node as it could not be found at the location "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe". If necessary, specify the correct location in the BuildParameters, or with the MSBUILD_EXE_PATH environment variable. at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.NodeManager.AttemptCreateNode(INodeProvider nodeProvider, NodeConfiguration nodeConfiguration) at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.NodeManager.CreateNode(NodeConfiguration configuration, NodeAffinity nodeAffinity) at Microsoft.Build.Execution.BuildManager.PerformSchedulingActions(IEnumerable`1 responses) at Microsoft.Build.Execution.BuildManager.HandleNewRequest(Int32 node, BuildRequestBlocker blocker) at Microsoft.Build.Execution.BuildManager.IssueRequestToScheduler(BuildSubmission submission, Boolean allowMainThreadBuild, BuildRequestBlocker blocker) I tried to search the internet, but the people who have the same error didn't help me with a working solution. Furthermore command line compiling works fine ie: cl /EHsc filename.cpp produces an exe and if i run it from the command line says hello world. What is the problem with the compiler in visual studio? On the Internet some people said it has something to do with the length of the username of the administrator, but its shorter then 20 characters. Thanks in advance!

Valik Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 I assume you've uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio?
cageman Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Yes i did try that. I just keeps giving me this message.. it seems i have exactly this issue: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/535129/error-msb4014-when-building-any-visual-c-project# but the interesting is.. what do they mean with user? the computer user? i did change it too something short now to be certain, bu t the map names in C:\Documents and Settings\Username have still the old username. Could that be the problem? Edited September 14, 2010 by cageman
Mat Posted September 14, 2010 Posted September 14, 2010 Save the project in a folder with a name that won't cause problems. I have a programming folder in C:\ that has all the languages and projects I do - I did have a folder called 'C#' but that gave a lot of problems so I now use 'CSharp' instead. I assume you have a similar problem... Just set the folder for projects somewhere with a simple name and it'll work fine. Mat AutoIt Project Listing
cageman Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) your solution didn't solve my problem, but it turned out that the length of the username was indeed the problem. After changing some things it suddenly worked. Anyway, thanks for the help! last question: What is a good forum for asking questions about C++? Edited September 15, 2010 by cageman
EZ4000 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 @cageman in VS2008 before you start writing your code make sure the following ||follow this procedure : 1-any code should be write in solution "project" before you compile it. 2-name the the project with the name of your main source code . so: file>>new project >> Visual c++ >>win 32 >> win32 console app chose a name ie: ☺ then make sure to clic check on empty project application settings [*]Empty project then finish go to solution explorer tap right clic on source >>add new item >> ☺.cpp then you are done i hope this tips helped you

canny Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 The free Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express, along with the rest of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express suite of programs, is available. It purportedly compiles, assembles and links several times faster than GCC.
