After installing C++ Did you logout then login again to pickup the updated command tables?

A couple of quick things to check.

product show prod *

Check to see that
VSI X86VMS CXX V10.1-1 Full LP Installed
is present.

The second is show license check to see that
CXX-V VSI 6 0 1 0.0 (none) 1-APR-2024
is present.

Instead of login in and out you could also have given the following command
$ set comand/table=sys$library:dcltables.exe

Feel free to consider me oldfashioned, but whenever I install stuff I like to:
* as SYSTEM do the install and any post-installation tasks
* reboot
* as unpriviliged user verify that the installed product works (assuming that the product is intended to be used by unpriviliged users)

To avoid the usual mistakes of forgetting to put @SYS$STARTUP:FOOBAR$STARTUP in SYSTARTUP_VMS or forget to set protection (if that needs to be done manual).

   In some cases, installing a product affects the system command
tables.  Normally, when such a product is released, it comes with an
Installation Guide, which should mention this.  Documentation for C++ on
x86_64 might be lagging a little.  For a more mature product, like, say,
VSI Pascal, there should be something like this:

      (i) Note

      VMSINSTAL deletes or changes entries in the process symbol tables
      during the installation. Therefore, if you are going to continue
      using the system manager's account and you want to restore these
      symbols, you should log out and log in again.

(Just before: https://docs.vmssoftware.com/vsi-pascal-for-openvms-installation-guide/#SEC_ERRORS )

   Presumably, this applies to an installation using PCSI as well as one
using VMSINSTAL.

   Experienced system managers will have done this enough times that it
has become a habit.  Newcomers might benefit more from more complete
documentation.
