C++ Remove element from vector by value

I've looked around, and it seems to me that the consensus answer for this problem is this method;

template <typename T>
void removeByValue(vector<T> & vec, const T & val)
{
    vec.erase(std::remove(vec.begin(), vec.end(), val), vec.end());
}

However, I get the error error C2660: 'remove' : function does not take 3 arguments when trying to compile it. Why is it giving me this error?

std::remove is only available if you include header <algorithm>.

This is clearly stated by the MSDN documentation here as well as any C++ reference.
