Yes thanks - the only reason I'm asking is that all my existing projects are for Windows so my plan was to try out Code::Blocks with a project that I'm already familiar with. Ultimately of course I'll need the Linux installation but since I'm already familiar with Windows programming, I think that this approach might avoid me dealing with too many unknown quantities all at once.

Downloaded Code::Blocks this morning (from last night's build) but when I attempt to start it I get this error message:-
The application failed to start because wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll was not found.
Under Windows, DLL's normally reside in the \Windows\System or \Windows\System32 folders. I've tried putting the DLL into both those folders and I also put it into the same folder as codeblocks.exe (which, on my system, is E:\Program Files\CodeBlocks). However, I still get the error message. Any ideas?
ANIRBAN GHOSH:
Yes that happened because you have overwritten the old IDE files! Do not overwrite! Extract the 'build' into one folder other than the installed folder (ex C:\Code_Blocks), then put inside the dll files(mingw10 and wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.dll). Run the IDE from the exe in this folder.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I don't have any 'old' IDE. This is my first installation. Do you mean that I should have installed an older version first?
Charon:
I guess he assumed that you are installing a nightly over an older RC2 installation.
Sorry, no idea for your specific problem :-(
