Greetings,
I just installed Code::Blocks. I'm running Windows Vista, 64-bit. I also installed the latest version of
MinGW, as the downloads page says that it's compatible with Vista.
So, I typed up a simple program, in C, to display, "This is a C program"
Code Blocks saved this simple program as a .c file.
When I went to build and run I kept getting a pop-up window that said that the program had not been
built yet. It asked if I wanted to build it. I clicked yes. This happened over and over.
Finally, I changed the file extension to .exe
Then, it did attempt to run the simple program, however an error message popped up with the title,
"Unsupported 16-bit Application." The message said,
"The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\Tim\C Programs\Simple Program.exe"
cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the
software vendor to ask if a 64-bit compatible version is available."
I'm new to programming. I've been attempting to research a solution to this problem for hours.
Any help would be appreciated, very much.
Thank you, in advance.
