I have Visual C++ 2005 express edition, I downloaded it from the microsoft
website. I am using it for school. I started an assignment in the lab at my
school, and for the asssignment I had to create 3 projects under one
solution. They were created no problem, each with just a few lines of
extremely simple code in them (for learning purposes.) I zipped the file and
brought it home so I could complete the assignment. I got all the files,
unzipped them, put them in the same directory that Visual saves solutions to,
and opened up my assignment. It all worked wonderfully, I added code to the
last project I was on and compiled and ran all three of the projects and they
worked fine. However, when I try to make a new project, I select win32
application and add to current solution, and I get an error that reads
"creating <project name>... project creation failed" at the bottom of the
screen in the comment box. I believe it has something to do with the win32
application wizard that is supposed to pop up, like it does at my school, but
doesnt on my home computer. any idea what it could be? thanks in advance

What software were you using at school to create the original solution? Was
it VC++ Express or Visual Studio 2005?
If the latter, you may be running into a limitation of VC++ Express.
If you start a new solution in VC++ Express, can you add multiple projects
to it?

I went and checked at my school lab, and I was using Express Edition at the
school also, and no, I cannot create new projects, or even solutions for that
matter. When I try to do either of those things, the program gives me the
same error message, and when I try a second time the program closes. thanks
for the quick response. any other ideas?

What version of Windows are you using at home, and what version is installed
at your school?
I ask because Windows Vista requires that certain patches be installed for
VS 2005, or any of the Express products, to work properly.

Both computers are running Windows XP Professional. I did see other posts
saying that Vista need updates first to run VC Express, and I had never run
windows update before, so i did that on a wild chance but still, nothing.
thanks agian for responding so quickly
