I tied to run the hello world example. It ran but the consloe window closed quickly and I could not see anything. I did not get the line: press any key to continue. Also I tried to toggle break point at the return line, I get the error message " can not open pdb file.
Bottom line, I can not even run this simple first code. Using windows 8.0. Any helpful comments are appreciated

I would recommend placing the following statement just before the return 0 statement:

std::cin.get();

This would wait for the user(you) to press any key from keyboard in order to exit the application.

Which IDE you are using for these code samples?
