thanks again. I got it ... I downloaded the 3 separate zip file into a single directory, copied the contents in the root directory of the extract into the original installed location of CB. CB started but complained of many unloadable plugins.
I then copied all .dll found in the plugins directory of the new extract to the plugins directory of the original installation. This time CB did not come up, instead displayed a dialog box with ... "codeblocks.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience."
snippets of the codeblocks.rpt file is copied below.
Did I do something wrong?
thanks again
Raman
