LOL! It's frightening when something proclaiming to be "visual" provides no visible feedback on the progress of installation, etc. It would not take much data or much effort to provide some rough time estimate for the completion.

My other pet peeve with installation/setup is the lack of inline help. My rule would be that all UI elements should have some kind of "what is this" feature. It's far too easy to make irreversible choices during an installation and find out on step 29 (or after some months of use) that one should have toggled something on page 1 differently.

Pure crap, who would design something like that???nothing to do with C++, it's the IDE1. Console project2. Application settings -> empty project3. project settings -> C++ -> No precompiled header check box.4. Add cpp to project5. 6. See the VS screen shot.
