Downloading old version and moving between XP and Vista
« on: July 15, 2009, 10:56:42 pm »
I've been using CodeBlocks 1.0 rc2 to modify the Civilization IV SDK on my XP desktop.  I recently got a Vista laptop and I'm trying to set up CodeBlocks on it, but I've had a few problems.

1. Version 8.02 of CodeBlocks has changed too much from 1.0 rc2, making it impossible to follow this tutorial for getting the SDK set up with CodeBlocks.
2. Version 8.02 will not open vcproj files, so if I ever wanted to modify the SDK files as used by a mod for civ, I would not be able to do so (Firaxis made civ in Microsoft Visual Studio 2003).
3. I can't seem to move my project over from XP to Vista.  The folder locations have changed, so the project can now only be opened in Windows XP!  Since I saved it in a folder located in My Documents, it does not appear to be Vista compatible.

Because of 1 and 2, I would like to know where I could download 1.0 rc2.  I've tried a google search, but all the download links point to 8.02.  Also, how can I get the project working since the folder locations have changed?  One would think that since the project is located in the same folder as the files that it wouldn't matter.

Instead of downgrading... why don't you try a nightly?
