MSVS 2008 "Cannot open type library file: iostream"?

MSVS 2008 "Cannot open type library file: iostream"?

I just re-installed MSVS2008 and I created a simple program but it will
not build no matter what I try. Here is the error I get:
1>------ Build started: Project: general_empty, Configuration: Debug Win32
------
1>Compiling...
1>hello_world.cpp
1>c:\users\*****\documents\visual studio
2008\projects\general_empty\general_empty\hello_world.cpp(1) : fatal error
C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'c:\program files (x86)\microsoft
visual studio 9.0\vc\include\iostream': Error loading type library/DLL.
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Rahman\Documents\Visual Studio
2008\Projects\general_empty\general_empty\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>general_empty - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
I don't know what to do. The only thing I considered was permissions but
I'm running Windows and a quick 'properties' check displayed that SYSTEM
has all permissions and users should have permissions to read and execute.
As I wrote, I completely reinstalled it. I had formatted my computer. And
I installed it once, got the error, uninstalled and reinstalled (Making
sure to click "install libraries."
Help is greatly appreciated!
