Today I downloaded Conan, cmake, Visual studio code (including the C++, C++ makefile, Cmake, Cmake tools, and conan-tools extensions).
In order to get started, I began with the following tutorial. Everything went smoothly up until step 5, where I got the following error:
C:\Users\rik>conan profile new default --detect

I have been trying to solve the problem for a few hours now, but do not know how to continue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
My conan profile currently looks as follows:
[settings]
os=Windows
os_build=Windows
arch=x86_64
arch_build=x86_64
compiler=Visual Studio
compiler.version=16
build_type=Release
compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11
[options]
[build_requires]
[env]
The getting started section at step 5 says:
If you are using GCC compiler >= 5.1, Conan will set the compiler.libcxx to the old ABI for backwards compatibility. You can change this with the following commands:
But you are using Visual Studio, which is not that case, thus you have to skip that step.
As your default profile contains libcxx now, you should remove it:
conan profile remove settings.compiler.libcxx default
