Received the following compile log when trying to compile a Console C application for the first time after installing this product onto Vista 64-bit OS.
Compile log shows:
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-cpp\Makefile.win" all
gcc.exe -c main.c -o main.o -l"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"
gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or directory
Make.exe *** [main.o] Error 1
Execution terminated
Lacking a search capability, I went through only about four pages of posts before giving up and posting my question.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is a search capability (SourceForge have recently hidden it in their on-going effort to make Sourceforge as user unfriendly as possible - the search is still pants though!). It is accessed via the Forums menu at the top of the page.
Regardless of the search, you will have seen the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION" thread, which amongst other things discusses installation on Vista. Vista 64 is uncommon, but your error looks identical to that experienced by other Vista users.
Also I would advise against polluting the Dev-C++ installation folder with your own project files. It is just bad practice, but there is also a bug in Dev-C++ that sometimes causes builds in c:\dev-cpp or its subfolders to fail.

I'm very happy. I just had to follow http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1036469&forum_id=48211 and http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4156252, and was up and running in minutes.
Yes, this is Vista-64, and working great (so far, at least!).

You are correct, and I apologize that I'd failed to read the "Read before posting" message.
There does seem to be a lot of information there that matches my predicament. I will try to pore through that and find a solution.
