I downloaded the Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 6 (4.9.6.0) executable only version and it tells my during installation that "devcpp.cfg" and "devcpp.ini" now live at C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data, which is good. I've got mingw32 already on my W2K box and I editted the BIN, LIB and INCLUDE env variables in "devcpp.cfg" to point to the mingw32 stuff. I have admin permission to do that. However, I cannot comply the example projects because things were not found. I found out that "devcpp.cfg" reverts to the setup settings.

Things work fine though after I added the stuff using the Tools|Compiler Options menu item and late I found out that the information is written to the "devcpp.ini" file.

I'd just like to report this in case others encounter the same little glitch.

And I'm not quite sure why the need to use  2 configuration files.

Finally, thanks for a great GUI to the gcc compiler suite.
