Visual Studio 2019 C++ external dependencies are missing - c++

I installed the Desktop development with C++ for Visual Studio 2019 latest version. When I create a new Console App project and the "Hello World" code opens, the editor shows compile errors on #include and std::cout, as shown below:
What I noticed is that the External Dependencies folder of the project is empty. Do you know why that might be?

I solved by just installing the Windows SDK from Visual Studio Installer. I did not install it at first because it was in the optional extensions.

X Visual Studio is missing necessary components. Please re-run the Visual Studio installer for the "Desktop development with C++" [duplicate]

My Flutter Doctor is saying:
Visual Studio - develop for Windows
X Visual Studio not installed; this is necessary for Windows development.
Download at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Please install the "Desktop development with C++" workload, including all
of its default components.
How can I fix this problem?
It's basically saying that if you want to develop your Flutter application for Windows you will need to install Visual Studio 2022 and while installing Visual Studio 2022 you will need to download this: Desktop development with C++
Also, you have to install the third link in this: Visual-studio
You could also get desktop development with the C++ tool after installing Visual Studio and then navigating to tool → Get tools and features → Desktop development with C++.
The error means install Visual Studio, and this is different from Visual Studio Code. It's an IDE from Microsoft.
For those who may be using a weak computer and can't afford to install the full Visual Studio, you only need to install a few components from Visual Studio to get Flutter to run on your computer without errors. These components are:
MSVC v142 - Visual Studio 2022 C++ x64/86 build tools.
Windows 10 SDK (for Windows 10 users)
C++ CMake tools for Windows.
In total, they should occupy around 8 GB or so.
As it states, you need to download Visual Studio (which is different from Visual Studio Code).
When installing it, remember to select the required package Desktop development with C++:
This will not prevent you from developing Mobile apps, but it's a requirement only for Windows Development.
Is unnecessary to install the "Desktop development with C++" if you don't want to develop desktop applications for Windows using Flutter.
If you only want to develop mobile apps using Flutter, you can run
flutter config --no-enable-windows-desktop
to disable the desktop support for your Flutter projects. After that, when you run the flutter doctor command again, you will no longer see the warning.

Only two steps are required.
Install Visual Studio 2022 (Link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
Install Visual Studio Code (Link: https://code.visualstudio.com/)
Your code will run smoothly.
My solution was a bit simpler. Uninstall everything all build system's from VS. Then reinstall Visual Studio Community 2022, restart then try again. Might get a warning about nuget but it should fix the issue.
With the newest android installer "android-studio-2022.1.1.19-windows" there would be a jbr and jre folder existing, hence creating a link from jre to jbr would not work.
What you can do is copy the contents of the items in jbr into the jre folder and this would resolve the error.
Make sure to install Visual Studio Code.
Open the Visual Studio download page:

I just installed visual studio and ran into some errors specifically The WindowsSDKDir property is not defined. Some build tools may not be found

Just installed visual studio 2019 on windows 10, was using visual studio for the first time and ran into the following error, It's a basic hello world console program that I tried to run.
error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'corecrt.h': No such file or directory
1>Done building project "ConsoleApplication2.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning MSB8003 The WindowsSDKDir property is not defined. Some build tools may not be found. ConsoleApplication2 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets 434
I tried searching for this error over YouTube and of course here, and also Microsoft's offical forum but couldn't find anything.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!\n";
}
the code looks just fine.
I ran into the same issue today. It turns out I didn't check the Win10SDK to save disk space while installation.
Solution:
In VS, go Tools menu=>Get Tools and Features=>install the Windows 10 SDK(10.XX.XX.XX)
Once installed, launch VS and open your project, right-click your project(NOT Solution)->properties->General->Windows SDK Version, check the value should be 10.0 instead of blank.
Then the compiling just worked.
I've got the same issue and turned out that I haven't installed Windows SDK. It can be done by typing "Install Windows SDK" into visual studio's search prompt
I had same problem when I installed Visual Studio 2019 on Windows7 and opened project created in Visual Studio 2017 (witch wasn't installed on that machine).
To solve the problem I went to project Properties -> General -> Windows SDK Version
And changed it from 10 to 8.1.
I fixed this issue by repairing Windows SDK. Now it's working as expected.
Steps:
Go to Settings>Apps & Features.
Click on Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 10.0.18362.1
(Note: Version number might be different for you)
Click on Modify.
Select Repair from options.
Click Next.
Restart VS and try running your project.
I was just having thesame issue so I figured maybe the headers were in a different directory than where the program is searching. When I went looking for tge header files none existed. So the problem is probably with iostream not existing.

Build OpenCascade for VS2017

Usecase: I intend to use the OpenCascade C++ library in my C++ project. I need to do simple polyline offsetting and polygon scaling down.
So I am attempting to install the OpenCascade C++ library on my Windows 10 64bit machine to use in Visual Studio 17. My first attempt was to use the windows installer then run the batch files (env.bat, custom.bat). But I have read on this forum that the windows installer wont work for Visual Studio 2017 - is that correct?
So I have now followed the build instructions here. And now I have opened the sample projects in Visual Studio 2017. When I try to build the project I get the following errors for each of the sample projects:
Error MSB8036 The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution". TKQADraw C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\v141\Toolset.targets 36
Any advice on what I have done wrong? Maybe I didn't build it properly following these steps? Also, given my usecase above, do I need to do all this if I just want to use OpenCascade in a limited way?
Is there documentation or a link on how I create a new Visual Studio C++ project and link all the OpenCascade libraries?
As the error says, you haven't installed the correct SDK version, or maybe the version you installed is out dated. Check the SDK install and try again.

Qt Creator Compiler Config Issue visual studio 2017

I have a problem very similar to
Qt Creator Compiler Config Issue
I have a code in one computer that run with qt 5.4.2msvc2013. In this computer everything works fine, I have these packages installed for the kit:
Build & run kits
but now I am trying to run the same program in a new computer and I can not get my projects to 'Build and Run'.
I tried to install visual studio 2017 but it didn't work. I think the problem is that I don't know what do I have to install in the visual studio package to run something with Qt 5.4.2msvc2013 64bit2
Here is what I installed of visual studio 2017 in the computer that doesn't work
Visual Studio 2017
thank you for any help!
To compile VS2013/Qt5 project under VS2017 you need to install full VS2013 together with VS2017. I tried MS Build Tools but that's not sufficient because does not include unmanadged C++ compiler (cl.exe). Also, you need proper version of Qt itself and Qt VS Tools (aka Qt VS Addin). At the moment beta with VS2017 support is available.

Source file inclusion in visual studio

I've just Installed visual studio express 2015 on my PC and when I try to add a new source file to a project by right clicking on the 'source files' option in the solution explorer , the dialog box shows "no items found" instead of showing installed visual C++ templates. What could the problem be?
You most probably have not installed VC++ has while installing Visual Studio. It is sad that C++ is now not installed by default. You might have selected "Default" while installing VS - you should have chosen Custom and selected Visual C++ development. You need to re-install it (just re-launch setup).
If this doesn't help, please post the screenshot.
