And if you don't know any solution let others find or suggest any!

I told you a solution, but you do not want to try it.

Here's the hard way to fix the problem.
Edit: I am still guessing it is an MinGW Vista issue; since the version of MinGW Shipped with Code::Blocks is known to NOT work with Vista, I consider replacing it the first step.

Tim S.

Note: The "mingw-vista special r3" was the first no bug version of 3.4.5 that worked with Vista

The command

--- Code: ---gcc.exe -v
--- End code ---
Returns below for me.

--- Code: ---gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
--- End code ---

Good!

I have this in PC which works fine


--- Quote ---mingw32-g++.exe    -c C:\Users\hadi\Documents\test.cpp -o C:\Users\hadi\Documents\test.o
mingw32-g++.exe  -o C:\Users\hadi\Documents\test.exe C:\Users\hadi\Documents\test.o   
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
--- End quote ---

but in the laptop


--- Quote ---mingw32-g++.exe  -o bin\Debug\test.exe obj\Debug\main.o   

collect2: installation problem, cannot exec `C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ld.exe': Invalid argument
--- End quote ---

Jenna:
Let me guess:
the first one (on your PC) is a standalone-file, without a project,
the second one (on the laptop) is a project you compile.

Nevertheless that should not make a different except for the file paths.

Try to make sure, you do not have any spaces in the projects and in the programs path.
If I remember right there are MinGW versions that have problems with spaces in the path.

If all that does not work, I strictly recommend to use a newer (really vista-compatible) of MinGW ad Tim stated before.

Ok!

these is the log for the project in PC and the command still different plus there is no space in path the project path on the laptop

--- Quote ---mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions  -g     -c C:\Users\hadi\Documents\test\main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o
--- End quote ---

and this is the MinGW version which i use


--- Quote ---gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special)
--- End quote ---

BTY I'll test it with newer MinGW(I should download the new ver, Install it and just change the path of compiler and linkers in settings--> compiler and debugger and no need to install GDB or anything else! right?)
