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...
