Question

I have an issue with Visual Studio\'s 2012. I am also using \"Sams Teach Yourself C++ in One Hour a day, 7th edition\".

After using google to find the \"best\" compilers

Answer 1

The apostrophes you used are wrong:

“Hello World!” 

should be

"Hello World!"

Notice even how SO recognizes the difference. You should at least type the code you see in the book instead of copying and pasting it. ;-)
