    <p>I am running windows 7 and I am trying to get this IDE to work and I am have an incredibly frustrating time making it work.</p> <p>I am following these instructions</p> <p>Quick guide:</p> <ol> <li>File > New > Project</li> <li>Select "Win32 Console Application"</li> <li>Enter a name and location, select OK</li> <li>In the Win32 Application Wizard under "Application Settings", select "Console Application" and select "Empty project".</li> <li>Click Finish.</li> <li>On the right (or left) hand pane should be Solution Explorer. Open it and right click on the "Source Files" folder and Add > Add New Item.</li> <li>Select C++ file (.cpp)</li> <li>Write code, hit F5 to start with debugging, ctrl+f5 to start without debugging.</li> </ol> <p>After step 4 I get the error, "The platform root directory "E:..........\MSBuild\Microsoft.cpp\v4.0\Platforms" does not exist.</p> <p>What do I do? I installed it in my E drive, maybe what it wants is on my C drive? It is not possible for me to install it there though because I am using a SSD for my C drive.</p> <p>Update, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and then clear my temp folder and then reinstall and then uninstall with the uninstall utility and then reboot and the reinstall and none of that works.</p> <p>I turning off my firewall and antivirus and installing and running and that did not help at all. Next I am going to format my hard drives and try and install again.</p> <p>I tried installing the ultimate version and I had the same problem. I have no idea what to do, it seems like I am out of options.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>My best guess now is that I have to manually install the missing files somehow, where can I find those?</p> <p>I installed Dev C++ and it works fine, should I just continue using this (as far as I can tell superior program) or try and fix Express?</p> <hr> <h2>Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express</h2> <h2>The platforms root directory "E:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms" does not exist.</h2> <p>OK<br> --------------------------- The microsoft.cpp part is missing but it exists in the C drive. I copied that over to the E drive and now when I open a project I get a blank screen, if I open older ones it says I need .net framework 4.0 which I do have.</p> <p>This has to be the worst program I have ever had to deal with, I have played video games in beta that worked better than that.</p> <p>I think I got this working, I am not sure though.</p> <p>It appears to be working but I get some strange errors, I am just going to accept this because at least now after an entire weekend I can begin my homework.</p>

    1. COI'm pretty sure Visual Studio doesn't care whether the disk you're installing Visual Studio on is a HDD or a SSD.

    3. COIs there a "E:\Program Files\MSBuild" or "E:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild" directory? Did that directory get put onto drive C: even though you asked VC++ Express to install to E:?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
