You should never, ever install Dev-C++ in a directory path that has 
spaces in it.  You shouldn't use files that have spaces in the 
pathname either.  It will work sometimes but eventually, it will kill 
you.  It happened to me, too.

You need to uninstall Dev-C++ (go to the Soundforge forum and get the 
procedure for deleting Dev-C++), then re-install in a different 
directory.  Then move all your programs to place where there aren't 
spaces in the pathnames and rebuild everything.

HTH.
