Install newer version of MinGW

<< < (2/2)

Sechem:
Ok, I reinstalled CodeBlocks (this time the version without MinGW included) and installed MinGW with the installer. Finnaly I told CodeBlocks to auto-detect the new compiler path and it worked.

So far so good, but now there is another question:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_MinGW_with_Vista
This is how to make MinGW work with Vista, but I don't have to do this steps. I've tested it and it works without executing these steps. Do you know the reason?

stahta01:
the R3 release worked with Vista the ones before all had minor to major bugs.

My first post here.  
I'm a semi-newb to C++ and real newb to CodeBlocks.

I'm relearning C++.  I took a class on it around 2001.  I've used VB off and on for a few years since then.

I just wanted to know, if everything appears to be working from the original download, do I need to install the latest "nightly" for any reason?  (my specs and CB version is below)

I've been reading for a couple of days now and some of this is a bit daunting.  I also use MS Visual C++ but want to learn something other than a MS product for coding C++.

specs:
codeblocks-8[1].02mingw-setup.exe (downloaded setup file) ... downloaded 3/8/10
gcc version 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special)
Windows XP Professional Version 2002, S.P. 3

Codie, if 8.02 works for you, you don't have to install the nightly...

The nightlies have more features, bugfixes and so on...
