Hi, I know you guys are going to say that there are thousands of posts about this but i've tried all that is said in those and it wouldn't work. actually my problem is slightly different to theirs. I downloaded code blocks in a windows 8 virtual machino on osx 10.8, with mingw, and it would work with no problem. However, i transferred the installation files to a pen drive, with absolutely all the files of the installation, and when i open code blocks from the pendrive in another computer, although it works normally, when i create new project and hit F9 to run the hello world app that creates, it says "it seems that this project has not been built yet. Do you want to build it?", if i click yes, the message window just closes and the build log shows the following:

mingw32-g++.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

If i hit no, the command line appears but it doesn't show hello world, it just says to click any key to continue.

I've already tried the things that work to most people, but it wont to me.
Oh! this other computer is also running windows 8 (the same version than the virtual machine)
Thank you in advance.

Normal causes are

1. Bad MinGW Installation
2. Bad system paths
3. Conflicting MinGW/Msys/Cygwin installations

No Idea if windows 8 added issues.

i dont think windows 8 adds any issues 'cause in the virtual machine it wors perfect.
th mingw installation i think its correct 'cause it works on the virtual machine and i just copied the files.
how could i check the system paths are right?
and how could i check the third point you gave me?
