Dev-C++ doesn't work on Vista?

Nov 8, 2009 at 12:39pm
Hello, I need some sort of help here.

I had just installed Bloodshed Dev-C++ on my computer (which is Vista Home-edition), and it doesn't seems to be working. When I tried to compile my file (I tried many, but none worked), errors occured stating:

"Compiler: Default Compiler
Executing gcc.exe...
gcc.exe "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\io6_4.c" -o "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\io6_4.exe" -l"C:\Dev-Cpp\include" -L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib"
gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1': No such file or directory
Execution terminated"

Is this because Dev-C++ doesn't work on Vista or there is something wrong with the program itself? Anyone can provide me with some assistance? Thanks.

Dev-C++ is very old. Don't use it.
Try other IDEs as Code::Blocks or Visual C++ Express

Er, but my school is using it...... so I'm kinda familize with it already.
I don't wanna switch to other program, its kind of confusing since it's using the different method.
Besides, is the other programs free too?

Yes, Code::Blocks and Visual C++ Express are both free.
I personally recommend Code::Blocks.. it's very simple too and the change from Dev-C++ is easy (and a move you won't reget! :D).

EDIT: Here are the links to the two compilers:
Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/Express/VC/
Code::Blocks: http://www.codeblocks.org/
