[HELP] C++ error

[royalinus]

Alright, so I decided to open up my Visual C++ compiler and well i have a problem. So the first pic is from Visual C++ 2008 and the other is from Visual Studio 2010. Im not quite sure what the problem is, but i know i can get help from you guys. Also, I can open anything else as long as its not C++
And Dev C++ doesnt have any problems
Sorry about the crazy sized images haha

Well u have to tell waht happened as u opened these programs
my guess is that apparently your installation didn't install properly or your registry is flaky
go download ccleaner and install
uninstall cpp and run ccleaner then reinstall cpp again
If problem persists then soz

It could be a lot of things. It says "the specified module could not be found" , but it doesn't specify what module so beats me. So it will not load your projects anymore? Did it used to work? Be specific we need to know everything and even then we prbly can't help you. I recommend you google the error. If nothing works....

I recommend you just reinstall. =/

Sounds like a f-ed up install unless you installed some 3rd party tools for VS. Is it giving you these messages when you just start visual studio by itself? (Start->Programs_>microsoft visual studio etc) or only when you open an existing project?

They both were working before and ive tried reinstalling Visual C++ 2008.
I can open projects and i can create any other project type in 2010 unless its C++

ok so 2010 launches fine, it's only when you go to create a C++ project it fails? Did you do a normal install or advanced (and picked what you wanted?) sounds like possibly some components went missing that were required. Did you try a 'repair'?

Also what version of the .NET framework do you have installed? (you may still need that eventhough you're not doing anything with it)

It's basically saying it can't find a DLL, but tricky part is finding out which one

edit: also - is this happening when you select "new project" or only trying to load existing projects? Existing projects may be targeted for other version and have dependencies on files you don't have...

edit 2: Also - be sure to RIGHT CLICK , and do a 'run as administrator' if you're on vista etc even if you're already logged in to your adming account.. (and install using your admin account)

if that doesn't fix it try these two links:
