title: How to use Visual Studio C++ Compiler?
body: <p>I recently installed Visual Studio 2013. I can create a new project (Visual C++), but the error I have to come across is that I cannot run the app. Here is the code that I'm trying to run on Visual Studio 2013. </p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt;
  using namespace std;
  
  int main() {
      cout &lt;&lt; "Hello World";
      return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am sure this code would run, and will output <strong>hello world</strong>, but in Visual Studio it gives me issues, saying: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Values cannot be null,<br>
    Parameter name: solutionDirectory.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?  </p>
