Cannot "Run" from IDE using 4.9.6.0

[Anonymous]

I have created a new project in the "My Documents" folder of my account - the project is a Win32 C program (GUI, not console) and when I use "Run" or "Compile and Run", the Dev-C IDE minimises momentarily and fails to execute the app.

However, executing it directly does work by double clicking on the .exe does work ... any thoughts on this issue?

Thanks,

Following up on my own message, the problem I described seems to stem from the fact that the IDE has issues with pathnames such as:

c:\documents and settings\user.name\my documents\blah blah.exe

where there are many spaces in the path.

I tried the same thing using a folder called

C:\test

as my default, and a filename without spaces and it worked OK.  Perhaps this is a "feature"....

i have a similar problem. i use Dev-C++ as my gui front-end for inGW, but it doesn't run g++/gcc on compile. it just sits there, with a very irritating "cannot run program message". can anyone help?
