I am getting these problems, i think its because im using the H drive instead
of the C drive, im hoping its not so. I get the no isk error and continue but
i changing the drive to H: wont allow me to go on.

Ok i was able to install it, problem was the 'space' issue... They dont
mention that anywhere, maybe i didnt look enough? So its running fine, but
should i worry about the 'Windows - No Disk' error?

If you really must install anywhere other than the default folder, I strongly
suggest that you do not install Dev-C++ at all. It can be a bit fussy, but
particularly some DevPaks that include project templates assume that Dev-C++
is installed in the default folder and the provided project templates will not
work without modification. As time goes on and dev-C++ is no longer
maintained, teh problems of compatability with later versions of Windows is
only likely to uincrease. It is not a tool you should rely on if future
support is important. Consider the derivative wxDev-C++ or VC++ Express.
Ok i didnt see that lol. Life is a mess so its been hectic. But i guess your
saying that Dev-C++ is a dead IDE anyways? I would try VC++ but does it allow
all the basic things like compiling and allowing a program to be fully
developed without too much bullsh*t? I dont want to get it and then find it
doesnt let you compile, or theres watermarks, or your computer selfs destruct
after 30 days you have compiled a succesfully created a program and if you
dont pay Microsoft to deactivate the self destruct mechanism. Well be
sarcastic poorly, how limited is VC++ Express?

Oops, also, my concern with VC++ is similar with Microsoft's DirectX and any
other products of theirs, does it work on XP? And how deprecated have they
made VC++ specifically for older computers or anything in general to work.

VC++ Express will work on XP. It is free to use for any purpose and does not
expire. Microsoft will require you to register, and you may require a
Microsoft Live Passport (or whatever they call it these days); I had an
existing .NET Passport (which is the same thing different name, so used that).
What you don't get is MFC support, but you never had that with Dev-C++ in any
case. You do get support for Win32 API, ISO C89, ISO C++, C++/CLI, the .Net
framework and Windows Forms. If you do not want all the Microsoft App Wizard
baggage, simply start with an empty project and add files individually, and it
will work as a vanilla C/C++ compiler.
Best of all it has an excellent debugger (unlike Dev-C++ which an a useless
debugger, or Code::Blocks that has a workmanlike GDB integration).

The space issue is clearly mentioned in the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A
QUESTION" thread.

Thanks ill try it out.
