maybe the search field "from who, or what is it called" was just your name, besure it is notfilled in or just "*", or maybe you're search was time limited ??

Good guess, killerbot, but no. Please re-read my previous post and notice that when one uses that particular input field, there _are_ no options to modify "from who, or what is it called". It is only when one clickes the word 'SEARCH' on the blue bar that one sees such options (I don't remember exactly what it is called there either).
Anyway, once I got past that hurdle and did the search "install nightly builds windows" starting from the blue bar instead of from the button 'Search', I saw the 7 pages of results, most of which were build announcements, therefore entirely useless (for my purpose). After widening the list of forums searched, and spending WAY too much time doing the "next page" operation, I found an old post talking about the need to:
1 - remove RC2
2 - Install MingW C++ first (no version specified, so I took the latest fm www.mingw.org)
3 - Unzip the nightly build into the desired target directory for C::B
4 - copy the wxWidgets DLL into the directory of 3
5 - Run C::B, and it will supposedly find MingW C++
This _almost_ worked. But it could not find mingwm10.dll. I had to find a copy (there were two on my system -- I have no idea where they came from or what the difference is) and put it into the directory of 3 for C::B to find it. Now I can launch C::B and build&run my old C::B projects. Progress!
So yes, it was discussed before, but it was NOT easy to find the discussion, and when I did find it, the procedure described did NOT work as advertised. But now I have something that at least sort of works. Now if only I could copy the configuration I had to the new installation...
killerbot:
boy, you searched the hell out of the forum ;-)
Glad to hear it finally worked, you know I will create a sticky post in the nightly builds section, explaining all the needed actions. I think you will like this idea, though for your purposes it comes a bit too late.
RC2 stored it's settings in the registry, the current nightlies and upcoming RC3 and V1 don't use the registry anymore to store CB settings, it's a xml file stored in the user's profile directory. No conversion, but hopefully this was the last breaking change for settings (well compiler settings change is coming up ..).
Just hold up your head, sweat through this little problem and enjoy the soooooo much better nightlies and wave bye bye to RC2 ;-)
Cheers,
Lieven

I typed "install nightly builds" in the input field just to the left of the button labeled 'search' that appeared as I was viewing my previous post. Perhaps that does not make the search global? If so, then how _do_ you make it global? For I just did it again, and once more, came up with one page of results, all from this thread.

Hello,
To make a global search, you have to clik on the Code::Block link (in the folder hierarchy, under the box Search). Then you can either do a simple search or an advanced one. The scope of the search will be the entire C::B forum.
Best wishes,
Michael
