    Hello, I have a problem with the .exe's that I make. I open them and they close very fast so you can hardly read it or not. I asked this question a while ago but now I ask if one of you would write the programm "hello world" with the getch() command because that's what they advised me but I have no Idea how. n00b Thomas

      Like this: #include int main(...) { // your program here getch(); return 0; }

          What is the compile error you get? The program in VS6 (generated console app wizard) should be as simple as #include #include int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { printf("Hello World!\n"); getch(); return 0; } Michael

            Tick the "do not treat <'s as HTML tags" box so we can see what you're including.

              #include conio.h #include iostream.h void main (void) { cout << "Hello World!\n"; getch(); // If I use return 0; there comes an error } Thomas

                "return 0;" gives you an error because void functions return no values.

                  Your signature for main is strictly wrong - should be int main(int argc, char* argv[]) Then you return an int - ie 0 or anything else u want

                    In the book that I hired from the library and another one that I have at home both say this: #include iostream.h void main(void) { cout << "hello world"; } The problem is they used to work but know I can only open them in DOS that's not a problem for me but if I want to mail someone else my work and they don't know how to use DOS then it's a little problem.

The executable itself will launch inside a command prompt as you have written it. If you want a windowed application you will need to write it as such. - Nick Parker
