Refuses to start built application

Hey all. I'm using Code::Blocks 10.05 along with MinGW (http://nuwen.net/mingw.html) in Windows 7 Ult. x64. This project worked flawlessly last install of Code::Blocks, so it's not my code, nor is it the project file from what I can tell. Windows died on me and after reinstalling it, then Code::Blocks and MinGW, it no longer can start the executable. It does compile, and it runs fine outside the IDE, but for some reason or another, Code::Blocks does NOTHING when trying to run. No output to the logs, no nothing.

Any ideas? :/

Thanks,
Jim

I'll go out on a limb here - some dll missing? Something went askew with paths in the IDE config? Is it a release or debug build? If debug, could it be a debugger problem?

Jimmio92:
Nothing that I know of is missing, and the paths couldn't change, it was a totally fresh install. Debug and Release both do nothing.

Thanks,
Jim

With all the incredible smartness built into Windows 7, it is hard to tell what goes on, but it might be that Windows hides one or several files from Code::Blocks for some reason. Try not to have either your compiler or Code::Blocks or your development folder live anywhere near C:\Program Files.

You know, all users are idiots, so Windows has to be super smart in their place. Files must be hidden and rolled back, and processes must be denied accessing resources in undocumented ways without raising a warning. This greatly increases security and is much cheaper than fixing the 72 million exploits built into various OS components.
Legitimate users only use legitimate Microsoft products anyway which have been fine-tuned for that kind of OS behaviour, and everyone else can fuck off.

Jimmio92:
More like Microshaft products can fuck off. :)

Where do the global settings for Code::Blocks live? Somewhere in AppData, right?
