As my Username may suggest, I am a complete beginner when it comes to programming in C. I installed Code::Blocks and installed it, and I then went to Microsoft's site and downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and installed that too. When I first opened Code::Blocks, it asked me which compiler I wanted to use, so I opened the drop-down menu and selected Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. Then I wrote a simple 'Hello World' program to try it out, but I quickly found out that:
Build > Build does nothing
Build > Compile Current File does nothing
Build > Run > Yes does nothing
Build > Run > No returns a blank window, and
Build > Build and Run does nothing.
I went back to Settings > Compiler..., and it told me that the compiler's installation directory was "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC". When I checked the Program Files folder myself, I found that there was no such folder. Should the directory listed in the Code::Blocks settings be different, or is the problem being caused by something else?
