Hmmm... Vista
level9wizard:
I read a few posts on the forum that clearly state Vista is not yet supported. However, I read one like this:

Who were actually able to get it working with MingW and compile.
In my case, I'm not even able to execute the nightly. Maybe i'm missing something fundamental but here's what I get when trying to launch cb:
JGM:
That error is normal since you doesn't have the required resources (windows,images, etc..) on the same path as codeblocks.
if you compiled it your self you need to run the update.bat that will generate an output folder with all the needed files to run.
or
Download the latest nightly and extract all the files, since all are needed.

Since a few days or so the MinGW team released an official Vista compatible compiler suite. I'd say C::b is finally Vista compatible. I am using Vista and (of course) C::B very often without any issues. In addition I don't see any issues that could be the result of using Vista.
With regards, Morten.
Ps: Concerning your screenshot: You are missing *all* resources completely. Usually C::B has a subfolder "shared" which has other subfolders that hold the resources. What did you do to get such a broken version of C::B? It has been stated already: If you can't manage to compile C::B yourself (which you don't need to if you want to just work with C::B) use the nighlies.

Do you use 7-zip to unzip the files or the other product that does not work?
