yes now I have, but this wasn't a precise step by step with screenshots explaining how to install the night build with windows xp...

Denro:
just read here http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12002.msg81545.html#msg81545

you dont need screenshots just follow the three steps as described in the link above

i my self have no idea of all this nighly build and mingw and so on things ... but i did follow these 3 steps and it was no problem

to help you even more...
go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/TDM-MinGW%20Installer/1.908.0/tdm-mingw-1.908.0-4.4.1-2.exe/download
download this minGW (compiler)
run it with double click on it... install as recomented... i did try to install the older and it was not working but when i did select recomended instalation it did work
so open it, choose recomended installation, click next next next and at the end finish or close or what ever
now download this nightly build http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/CB_20100116_rev6088_win32.7z this should be the last one so the most updated one
its a 7z file you can open this with 7z unpacker
7z is similar to zip or rar or such things, if you dont have 7z get it here http://www.7-zip.org/download.html its free and good
so extract the codeblocks folder and replace your old codeblocks folder whith that
your old codeblocks folder should be at c:\programm files\codeblocks or where you have installed it
after replacing the old codeblocks with the new
you download wxWidgets here http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/wxmsw28u_gcc_cb_wx2810.7z
unpack it again with 7z and put it to your new codeblocks folder
and now you run codeblocks and you do a great application with it :D

for that you dont need screenshots its realy very simple!
download run select next next close, download ectract replace, download extract copy, run

The main advantage of an IDE, is incorporating your development tools inside one program with a shared interface. Normally the compiler, debugger, and an embedded editor; good IDEs should also mate with a profiler at a minimal.

Code completion is an editor feature, and is not related to an IDE in general; Vi IMproved can even be made to do code completion, yet it is not developed as an IDE.
