For unexplicable reasons, Dev-Cpp does not compile correctly under Windows Vista.
It seems that Microsoft's OS messes up with environment paths, or something.
After a morning of swears and curses, I found a post on SourceForge's forum, featuring a workaround.
All you have to do is:
- go in "tools > compiler options", move on "directories" tab and add "C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2"
- go in "programs" ad put "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\" before any executable name
This seems to work. Upsetting anyway.

thanks a ton man I really needed that fix
I also needed to click on the "C includes" tab and add:
C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\include
I followed all the instructions that were displayed on this page step by step, and It the still didnt it allow me to compile in Dev-Cpp....what versions Of
Dev-C ++ can WINDOWS VISTA SUPPORT???
I use the version 5 last beta... what kind of error does it return to you?
This worked perfect for me, thanks alot! I was almost about to reinstall xp just because of this. Strange thing is Visual Studio 2008 has the same issues for me, but I couldnt find a fix for it.
Thankyou SO MUCH for this, I was going insane...
Kept getting "Source file not Compiled" whenever I pressed 'compile&run'.
This has it fixed :D
Thank you, worked perfectly.
I have followed the instructions to fix Dev C++ 5 for Vista, but it is still not working. If you have more suggestions, please e-mail me at scanny8537@gmail.com
Thanks.
Thanks a lot !!!! Why do these guys screw up every thing which works fine with windows xp ?
hey, thanks a lot,
finally I could compile my programs.
works good, thanks man.
MARCO IS GOD.
THANKS FOR THIS FIX
Wonderful...Thank you very much
Thank you so much!! You helped me a lot fixing Dev-C++ to work for Vista! :)
SWEETNESS YOUR LIKE JESUS...
Still getting nothing. It looks like it's trying to load the compiler executables from my project folder instead of the Dev-Cpp folder, like it's ignoring my directory settings altogether.
i have tried all your instructions,but i m getting trouble with stdio.h
thanks, saved me some cursing

Hey thax, but, i didnt understand the second step, what do u mean go toprograms? where??
i ment go in progrms.
go in "programs" ad put "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\" before any executable name
-where?
Naturally, put no quotation marks and eventually replace C:\Dev-Cpp\ with your Dev-Cpp installation folder. ???
PLLLZ help! :-(
I assume you followed all steps before the "programs" thing.
in this moment, you are supposed to have the "compiling options" window in front of you. In the upper side of this window there should* be four "tab button":
- compiler
- code generation/optimizations
- folders
- programs <-----
click on "programs" and follow the remaining steps. let me know :)
* I'm sorry if there's some naming mistake, but I have an italian localization of DEV-CPP.
thank u so much! its now working!! i wished i knew what it ment that thing ive done. but still, it works! :-)
THANK YOU!!!
I've been strugling with that thing for days.
God bless you!!!
Sry if its already answered, but I got the same problem and what I did was:
1. Click tools->compiler options
2. uncheck the box that says "Add the following commands when calling compiler."
It worked for me.....just give it a try if u have the same prob.
THANKYOU!
LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
I was trying to fix this for hours since last night. Thanks!!!
Thanks
Thanks, helped me out. I really hope that the developers will take care of this issue.
Hi Guys,
Please Help me, I am really frustrated... I am having the same problem.
I followed the steps, given above,
1. Open up BloodShed and a simple program.
2. Click on Tools -> compiler options-> directories
Under directories, there are still 4 tabs (Binaries, libraries, C Includes, C++ Includes)
Question: should I add "C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2"
on all 4 tabs?
3. Then when i go in programs there is no option there where I can
- ad put "C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\" before any executable name
I have in there gcc, g++ etc.
Please help me..I really appreciate it,
Hi guys,
I finally figured it out what i am doing wrong, my dev-cpp is perfectly working now! thank you very much!
Thank you so much. I spent a day and a half figuring out the problem is Windows Vista and not Dev-C++.
Great
Thanks a lot, I had already wasted infinite time and was about to shift to visual studio. The fix was a lifesaver
The step says:
"Naturally, put no quotation marks and eventually replace C:\Dev-Cpp\ with your Dev-Cpp installation folder."
