Visual C++ 2008 ?

Thanks Jens. I don't know if this is significant but I can't seem to download any of the nightly builds. I've tried using Internet Explorer, FireFox and Safari but none of the links seem to work in any browser. Is the server down maybe?

Jenna:
Try the second berlios-server the first one is down at the moment, see this post of Tim (stahta01) http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11311.msg77650.html#msg77650 .

Okay, I went to the 2nd server and upgraded C::B, together with mingwm10.dll and wxmsw28u_gcc_cb.dll

Firstly, VC++ 2008 isn't listed among the supported compilers - although that isn't too important because I'm still using 2005 which is listed. However C::B still crashes when I try to compile anything using VC++2005. The crash is slightly more graceful this time. Instead of getting an "unhandled exception" I now get the familiar Windows dialog box saying "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Sounds to me like a mismatched DLL problem. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2. Should that be okay?

P.S. mingwm10.dll is dated 3rd August 2007 which seems quite old. Is that correct?

FWIW I've tried two further experiments this morning - neither of which has fixed the problem.

The first thing I did was to rename my CodeBlocks folder to CodeBlocks.old and then re-install C::B completely afresh. When that didn't work I installed VC++2008 and I tried running it instead of VC++2005. That didn't solve the problem either.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm running the 'Express' editions of VC++. Maybe they just don't work with CodeBlocks. However, they work fine within themselves so I can't think of a reason why they shouldn't work with CodeBlocks.

Is there any way to find out what's causing this runtime termination? It happens as soon as I try to compile any file with anything later than VC++6. I don't think C::B is even getting to the stage of creating any log files....  :(

Have you tried it with clear C::B configuration files? If not, backup them and try to run without them, they should be recreated on next startup of C::B -> sometimes this helps.
