Installation problem (20.03) - Win 7 SP1 (32-bit)
« on: April 02, 2020, 02:43:14 pm »
Hi. I've downloaded and installed codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup from Source Forge, but when I run the Codeblocks application I get an error message telling me: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're runnning...". I presume a 64-bit version of the software has been installed instead of 32-bit, but I can't see any option to install a 32-bit version anywhere. Am I missing something obvious?

No. C::B stopped providing 32 bit binaries.

Thanks for letting me know. I wish they made that clear on the website! I'll try an older version.

Good point. However, if enough people complain, we may provide 32 bits, too.

We just really thought nobody is interested anymore as the nightlies (and Linux anyway) were 64 bit for some time now and this was not an issue.

If C::B is not 32 bit then default installation location should be changed from Program Files (x86).

Yes this is something we'll fix, soon.

Hi! is there anyway i can download an older version for Win 7 SP1 for C::B.  Does this have the Fortran part in it?

Thanks

A generous offer

Hello,

I downloaded the 32-bit (codeblocks-20.03mingw-32bit-setup.exe) of 20.03, both portable (nosetup) and setup.exe versions,  however, after creating a standard C++ project and trying to build/run it, the program simply complains with "It seems that this project hasn't been built yet. Do you want to build it now?" After pressing "yes" repeatedly nothing happens and one has to resort to "no".

I did the standard troubleshooting - solving auto detect issue, setting program files in global compiler settings -> toolchain executables. This does nothing. It seems like the C::B version  works in 32-bit system, whereas the compiler files are for 64-bit system, thus it isn't able to build and compile an .exe file. Because when I go to MinGW folder and click on, for example,  g++.exe (and other essential compiler files), windows throws an error of it being a 64-bit version.

Am I just lost in translation or there really is a version for 32-bit system?
