And this is stated clearly on the download-page.


--- Quote from: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/5 ---NOTE: The compiler included in codeblocks-8.02mingw-setup.exe does not work reliable on Windows Vista. Please do not use it and install a more recent one from MinGW. That is because at the time Code::Blocks was released there was no working GCC for Windows Vista available. Meanwhile there is.

Thanks. However, is there any information regarding what compiler versions are reliable on Windows 7? I'm currently at http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ but no information is provided regarding what OS the latest builds are compatible with.

H: That one should work :lol: // never tried vista/win7 + C::B

Jens:
Thanks I've never gone to that page.
And as it seems no one has read that notification, can you make it red and big + adding a link to TDM's gcc or the working mingw release?
And the next time there is such thread just silently delete the next thread about this issue.

What Jens said.

Plus, it's technically wrong that said MinGW release is incompatible with Vista/Windows 7. It's Vista and Windows 7 that are not compatible with software which behaves the way that was "standard" under Windows for decades.
