I've read through the other C++ thread and followed the linked tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77v-Poud_io&ab_channel=LearningLad) . It did work for c, but I'm still getting an error message when trying the same thing with c++.

I'm a complete beginner and therefore sadly have absolutely no idea what to do, googling it and following the docs didn't work, cuz.. I didn't understand a step there.. You can call me stupid at this point, I sadly know.
"If you get an error trying to build and debug with cl.exe, make sure you have started VS Code from the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio using the code . shortcut."

Help is highly appreciated! For safety reasons I've included the 'test code' since I don't even know whether it is for C++ or only for C and the error message I got

Yes I did; For setting it up I blindly followed the linked tutorial as well

And thanks! Sadly same error message, had hope for a second xd

that's the main problem I have.
I go to community > Sends me to the side with "install, first steps, C++, ..."; There is no link beneath "install" so I navigate to C++ cuz that's what I'm looking for. Then no matter what link I click, I just redirected to a different website and click links til I'm on that first one again

#

e.g. I navigate to this installation, clicke the nice 'install' button and get sent to the start website again :4head:

(I think it's a good thing to note that I dunno what ".NET" is but since it's listed below C++ and before Java I just assume it's another programming language)
