HOW FRIENDLY IS C++?

I was learning java, until I wanted to do runnables jars (executable programs), my program was created to be run, so I try, I investigate, I ask in a java help forum, after a lot of process (command prompt, registry, etc...) all turns out to be perfect but still can't create jars (my computer must be cursed, maybe is because it is windows 7 starter and a crappy notebook).

I was already planned to use C++ in one year but now I have seen many things that makes me want to change now, the only thing I don't want is that the same thing that is going to me with java will happen with C++ so how friendly is C++ with the system I am talking when you create your program as an executable, the system doesn't have any trouble running it? or sometimes there are exceptions

stupid captchas I don't understand them
C++ is not friendly at all, unless you are making a command line program. To do everything else you need to integrate with a ton of SDKs.

...this might have changed with Visual Studio C++ and the use of the CLE (or whatever the common language engine doohicky thing that .NET uses is called), though.

Have you looked into C#? Visual Studio C# Express is free.

Used it a while ago.. friendliness is still in the "screw you" kinda zone..
I never imagine that the compatibility was so problematic. I will give a look to C# and also to C++ to see how it is. It is the best answer to my question know that I am thinking

C++ is friendly.

...compared to C.

EDIT:
seriously though, don't get too hung up on the language itself. Learn the concepts first. In order to get a grasp of general programming. (This isn't an overnight task.) Then, see where the languages take you. There's no golden programming language that is "best."
well, it is true that I start learning java withouth knowing anything of general programming, I always thought it was something I was going to learn in the process.In view of the success obtained I think I have to to do what you say, any suggestions on how can I start? (beside google and youtube that are the things I use to learn)
If you want a friendly programming language to learn go python, as it is one of the friendliest out there and should be able to do anything you want fine. Go python 3 unless you need a library that isn't compatible with it, of course with the right choices you can get most major languages working with it to allow you to use most things out there. Also just remembered but what exactly do you want to do? as that can matter a lot for some things.
How to create jar files

Trust me, it's like any programming problem, you need to persist to get through it. That or get someone else to show you in person. If you need specific help, PM me.

As for C++, it's not that different from Java. But if you are hanging up on how to create .jars, then changing your programming language won't help you. It's better to be a master of one language than a jack of all trades, master of none.
I always found Flash 8 to be a lot better.... but then they upped Action Script to 3.0 and it took a giant leap backward down a pit into a monster's mouth at the bottom.
