Yes -- Free and specifically designed for individuals to develop Windows applications -- and being Ms product it will work 100% perfectly on W8 desktop.

Good also fror designing Metro and W8 Phone apps as well as Windows apps so you've got it all.

Can't understand why very few people have even HEARD of this package --works fine even for .NET applications.

Doesn't expire so you can use indefinitely.

Hi there
I think you have to create a project and then go from there

try some of these tutorials first

Getting Started Tutorials

try something like this


1. Go to File ->New Project ->
2 In project types, set it to win32, set win32 console application in "visual studio installed templates".
3 Enter the folder name and press enter.
4 Click Next , check in console application, tick empty project, don't touch the others, click finish.
5 Right click in source file folder Add -> new item
6 Go select c++ file and enter "main" as the c++ file
7. Your c++ first program is ready to go.
8. Code this


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "I am a c++ beginner." << endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;
}




9. Press Ctrl + F5 in your keyboard
10. Output should show this.

I am c++ beginner.
Press any key to continue . . ._


11. The end

should work.

BTW don't code like this when doing stuff for real as some will be "non portable" such as system("pause") and ideally using C++ code should be easily portable.

I have one question... I know it is free for individuals, and I downloaded one of the flavors of Visual Studio Express, and immediately went to register the product to make it permanent. Since it is for personal use, I wasn't sure what to enter for the Business information (which includes many of the required fields).

What do some of the rest of you do?

    Other Info
    Windows 8 VM is install on his own SSD.
I just installed Visual Studio on Windows 8. It mentions support for Python and C++, but not for C programming language.

1.) Can I use Visual Studio for writing & compiling C programs?
2.) If not, what should I use.

Changing to Windows 10 isn't an option. I'm distressed by the amount that it 'phones home.'

I'd really like to use NetBeans for C programming for my Windows 8 machine, but I can't find a c compiler that will install and work. Would rather *not* use Visual Studio.
