Code::Blocks EDU-Portable Problem - Can't Open The IDE

[fantanoice]

I wasn't sure where to put this, so if this is in the wrong section, please move it to where it should go.


I'm having problems with Code::Blocks EDU-Portable. My problem is, the IDE refuses to open, from both the shortcuts and from the Program Files folder.

I've found the only way I can open the IDE is to run the setup.exe file again, but I'm getting annoyed after having to constantly wait for the program to install every time I want to use it.


I cannot use the original Code::Blocks program because I need to use WinBGIm, plus CBEP is what my University will use to compile my program with.

Having said that, I have not had any problems opening the regular C::B program.


I'm currently using Windows XP on my duel-booted Macbook (yes, I know Code::Blocks is available for Mac, but I'm using Windows because that is my University wants me to use.)


Anyway, has anybody else had this problem or found a way around it? I'm going to try downloading the setup file again, so I'll get back to you if that ends up fixing the problem. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what to do, other than continuously re-installing the IDE. :/

Using the same drive letter for the USB Drive all the time fixes most USB Apps issues for me.
Fixing the registry values fixes nearly all the rest.

Note: The above normally takes admin rights.

Neither of above are really Code::Blocks Issues.

You might see the Wiki FAQ and verify you did it as right as you can.

The program is saved onto my hard drive (C:/), not a USB. Could that be causing the problem?

Should not cause a problem as long as they did not make some stupid design decisions when they made it portable.
I strongly suggest taking to the people who supplied you the modified software.

Please ask the developer of Code::Blocks EDU-Portable. I know nothing about it nor support it. Additionally we don't give support for (unofficial) forks.
