Compiling Error

How do I fix my compiling errors? Even with a simple model having a queue and a source gives me this error:

"The compiler detected syntax errors. Would you like to open Visual C++? This facilitates checking the syntax."

The Compiler console says:

First off all, why do you want to compile? Since version 4.2 you don't have to compile.

Secondly if you select to open visual c++ and compile then, what kind of errors does it give you then?

Make sure your compiler is installed and configured in the global preferences.

If it is configured correctly, try going to Build > Compile Entire Session. Sometimes compiling the entire session once on a computer fixes some configuration issues.

I have version 5 but when i run the model, it says something like "importing C++ code" and asks me to compile the model.

Can you compile the entire session in an empty model?

Hi Phil, thanks for your responses. When I compile the entire session of an empty model I get the same error:

"The compiler detected syntax errors. Would you like to open Visual C++? This facilitates checking the syntax."

And when I hit okay the 3D view disappears.

If you get that error when you try to compile an empty model, then you haven't configured Visual Studio properly.

Install Visual Studio (or Visual C++ Express), then configure it in File > Global Preferences > Compiler tab.

Hi Phil, I installed Visual C++ Express and configured it in the compiler tab and I am still getting the same compiler errors.
