Programming in windows vista?

I am trying to use this computer I purchased yesterday for programming. All the new computer at Best Buy had vista. I am using dev-c++ but it will not run it gives me the this message in the compiler and linker output “g++: installation problem, cannot exec ‘cpp’: no such file or directory”

Programming in windows vista?
dev-cpp hasn't been updated since 2004. Here are some alternatives to it, which work perfectly on vista:


1. codeblocks ( http://www.codeblocks.org/ ) with the latest Mingw compiler ( http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml ). You'll find everything you'll need on the codeblocks wiki and forum on how to install them on windows


2. "Visual" Dev-cpp ( http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ ). I think this is what Dev-cpp will become in the near future.


Anyway codeblocks is awesome. It works with ANY C/C++ compiler you tell it to.


3. Microsoft Visual C++ express edition.
Reply:Try re-installing it. I have Dev-C++ on my Vista computer and it works fine.





Also, there may be a special Vista version of Dev-C++ (I'm not sure though). look on their site again for info about using Dev-C++ with Vista
