Unable to extract Dev-C++
I recently downloaded Dev-C++ and I can't extract it. I agree that I am new with C++, but this had me stomped ehe. :)
Any help would be appreciated.

Umm if you downloaded from download.com or the bloodshed website you need to extract it.... If you didn't get it from either of those and it's not just a setup thing (doesn't need to be extracted) try download.com.

I downloaded it from bloodshed. I've extracted a lot of programs before, but this one only basically copies all the files in the folder I created for it.
The file I downloaded was called devcpp-4.9.9.2_setup and it was 8.89 mb. It did not require me to extract it, just run the setup (if thats the same file you have).
I downloaded a smaller version, but I think I know which one you are talking about. I will download it right now and tell you how it went.
That's great. I've been using this for a couple days (only using c++ a couple days too) but I like the program. Simple and I like how it tells you whats wrong in your code if it won't compile.
Your Welcome :)

Tried the small "hello world" and it won't compile. Guess I have to fiddle around with it. :)
I'm not sure how experienced you are in C++ but if you're new then adding
system("pause");
before the return statement might help. That keeps the window open. For some reason the window closes almost immediately on xp systems. If it's not actually compiling than I'm not totally sure whats wrong.

I am "totally" new. I know a lil bit more about computers than your usual woman, but I decided to learn C++ because being a house wife gets.... boring. :p
When I tried the hello program, it asked me if I wanted to create the new project as a windows application or console application. Not knowing which to choice, I chose the first one. It did nothing, when I tried again with the second one, I saw a small window flashed. I will try to add "pause" and get back here. :)

It worked!!!
Awesome!
I add to fiddle a bit with it, to try and figure out where to add "system("pause");", but it worked! Thx a million Mike! :D

Well to start off create a new source file. That is pretty much just a blank slate. That's what I've been using and I'm not sure what the others really do. I'd recommend
www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial
this site for learning some of the most basics, considering that's pretty much all I've used and I feel like I've learned quite a bit from yesterday. :)

If you need any help with coding or what not feel free to private message me on here (you should enable private messages if you choose to do so, so I can reply). Good night.

Thx a bunch for the help Mike! I've enabled private messages and tried to send one to you but couldn't figure out how... Feeling like a moron here. :p
