Hi,
I am running windows 7 and trying to run a simple program using Dev C++.
My problem is that pressing the 'run' button (or 'compile and run') button in dev C++ does not run the program :S
I know the program itself works as I can run the exe from within windows explorer. Also my problem is NOT that i dont have system("pause") or cin.get() etc where the program flashes and closes, it literally wont open at all from within dev c++..... any ideas?
Dev-C++ never worked correctly with Vista, and a few work-arounds need to be applied. This is likely also true of Windows 7, but to be honest, given the lack of update since 2005, if you are going to ride the leading edge of MS OSs, get yourself a more up-to data dev tool. I suggest http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/
Usually it is a case of Dev-C++ not referencing teh executable path correctly. You might try working around it by setting the executable path explicitly in the project options dilaog under. There is a field for overriding the executable file name, you might place it there. I cannot describe more precisely where the changes should be applied because I took my own advice a long time ago ;-)

Wouldn't surprise me, as the last release of Dev predates Vista. However, could
you please post your full Basic 3, they covered in the thread titled "Please Read Before Posting a Question" - there might be one other thing that your log will show us. (Yes, I understand you do not have an error, that is not what I am looking for)
