Visual C++, Visual C++ Studio

Visual C++ is a compiler written by Microsoft. Until the release of ?Visual Studio .Net, it was primarily used for developing Windows NT, Windows 9x, and Windows CE applications. The IDE can be used with other compilers (and thus for other platforms), but it does not work as easily as with the built in compiler.

Microsoft's Visual C++ is brought down from Visual Studio. Visual C++ is Microsoft's Windows C++ compiler, supporting MFC, and the API, not to mention it can also compile DOS programs.

The latest version is Visual C++ 2005.

Compile errors

Loaded 'ntdll.dll', no matching symbolic information found.

When you start a 'Hello world program, you get this error. The complete error message is:

Loaded 'ntdll.dll', no matching symbolic information found.
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', no matching symbolic information found.
The thread 0x9B0 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Test1\Debug\Test1.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

It occured when using WindowsXP.

Solution from http://www.codecomments.com/archive307-2005-4-463477.html

Probably the easiest way for you to get symbols from MS is to set the
following ENV variable.
_NT_SYMPOL_PATH=srv*D:\Symbols\MS*h
ttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
D:\Symbols\MS is the path on your local machine that will hold the
downloaded symbol files. I believe you have to restart VS in order for the
ENV variable to take effect.
See the WinDbg documentation for more information on _NT_SYMBOL_PATH. The
same information may be somewhere else as well, but I don't know where.

You can also download entire symbol packages from the above link
(_NT_SYMBOL_PATH not required then), however using the http symbol server
allows VS to download only the symbols it needs.
