I am having the same problem. Did you ever get it fixed and how?
‘c:\Program’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Yup no problems. I’m using Windows 10.
Works perfect on Windows 10. Nice lecture! Like this tutorial very much!

I am getting this error every time I run the command “cl hello.cpp”
hello.cpp
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.20.27508\include\ostream(708): warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind semantics are not enabled. Specify /EHsc
hello.cpp(5): note: see reference to function template instantiation 'std::basic_ostream<char,std::char_traits<char>> &std::operator <<<std::char_traits<char>>(std::basic_ostream<char,std::char_traits<char>> &,const char *)' being compiled

/out:hello.exe
hello.obj
However, If I run just “hello” and exclude the cl portion I return
c:\Users\rober\OneDrive\Documents\Coding>hello
Hello World
Am I missing something or is it actually executing properly?
I was able to compile. However, my graphics card (gtx 550 ti) could not handle the vulkan api used by unreal and it would not start. I put in an rx 570 card and all is now running smoothly.

I can compile the programm and it works just fine, but I get an #include error, which most likely is because I am using VS2017 and VS2019 aswell and i cant find out what my includePath should be.
I´m happy to get the basics of C++ again! Was 3 years ago i played around with C++ and now I might need it for a new job! So this is Gr8!
Got it done! I was a little confused because my computer didn’t seem to want to work when I just typed “hello” into the terminal and it only did anything when I actually included the file extension “.exe” and “.cpp” but that was because I was misunderstanding that if you use the “CL” command it will automatically compile the .cpp under that name and if you don’t it’s trying to run a program that wasn’t there yet. Once I used CL and a .exe program was actually created all went perfectly. Thank you!
Thank you! I tried setting up VS Code to compile C++ about 1,5y ago and couldn’t do it. But with this guide it was so simple! I’m so happy to see it work, compile and run with no problems now. 
I’m from the future now apparently and got Visual Studio 2019 Community and just downloaded that with no modifications. Got a error that said “fatal error LNK1104” but that was an easy fix by just downloading the Windows 10 SDK’s with the Visual Studio Installer.
I’m really looking forward to completing this course now. Last time I dropped out when I couldn’t set up VS Code. Idk why, just really wanted the light weight “IDE”.

I got the program to compile. Simple program with clear instructions. 
When I try to compile the code for the first time it seems to compile but I get a warning.
When I try to run the exe it says access denied and my antivirus software gives me a warning and deletes the exe.
When I try to compile again it doesn’t work anymore and I get a Linker error “LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘hello.exe’”

Does anyone know how to get this to work?
Thanks
compilation went ok, but afterwards i am not able to delete the .exe file! (win 10) it says access denied. i have to ask user (my own admin user i am logged in as) for permission… no way to authenticate again…
i am now unable to get rid of the file…
I had no problem compiling.

pretty sure that’s because it’s using normal windows console not developer console Don’t remember how I fixed it but it’s not hard
It seems to work now except that I got the warning C4530 I just have no idea why it works now
(Edit
actually now I know why it works I added Windows 10 SDK both of them since I did add one before but it didn’t fix it
)
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}
also I added Hello world there
