I have Visual Studio 2010 Pro (via Dreamspark), but it seems to be missing certain functionality for C++. I can not properly load/compile a pre-existing .cpp file. Nor, do I seem to have any templates or IDE menu options for making my own C++ programs. On the "Start Page" only Visual Basic and C# are listed for example. I tried rerunning install/repair but there was no change. Does anyone know why C++ might be missing from my 2010 Pro install, and how to put the C++ templates and stuff back in?
Thanks.
No C++ templates in Visual Studio 2010
Either you haven't installed the unmanaged components, or your development settings hide the unmanaged functionality. The latter can be fixed by going to Tools->Import and Export Settings and resetting to "General development settings". Former can be fixed by running the VS installer and selecting proper components.
Note that generally you compile a project, not an individual source file. The project contains compiler and linker settings that determine, among other things, what type of program you are building.

That was it, thanks. When I re-ran the installer before I did the "repair" option which just reinstalled what was already there, I should have chosen "Add/remove features" instead.
TY!
