New to CB: can't create project (Solved)

(1/2) > >>

rempi:
Hi. I've just recently moved from Dev-C++ to CB.  I'm running WinXP SP2 and have installed the most recent CB nightly (Nov. 4).  My problem is this:  when I try to create a new project (File -> New -> Project) the list of project wizards is empty.  I can create new files, and compile and run them just fine. But I'm not able to create a new project, which means I can't run the debugger. (Right?)  Do I need to download/install something other than just the nightly in order to do this?

Thanks



[Edit:] Oops! I should have posted this in the Help forum.  My apologies.  Is it possible to move it there?

hi!

this is strange,how did you do that?  :?::!:
maybe something went wrong wile unpacking CB?
is your [CodeBlocks_path]\share\CodeBlocks\templates empty or something?
try to unpack CB again, after having deleted all current files and see if it's fixed..

I've deleted and unpacked it several times, simply using 7zip to unpack the nightly into my CodeBlocks folder.  The \share\Codeblocks\templates directory is not empty; it has a bunch of .cbp, .cpp, .c, .h, .png, and .template files, as well as a .bmp and a folder named 'wizard'. 

Is there a way to tell the 'New from template' dialog box where to look for templates?  Is there any reason it shouldn't be able to see those in the \templates directory?

Thanks

Yup C::B does that on purpose AFAIK.

The wizards folder should be full of files and folders. Those scripts are what C::B uses to create your project.

Yes, the \templates\wizards directory is full of files and folders.  But C::B isn't seeing any of them.  Is there a setting to tell C::B where to look for wizards?  Is there any other reason that C::B might not see them?

Thanks
