I am attempting to install Dev-C++ on my Windows XP machine using the automatic installer (devcpp-4.9.9.2_setup.exe), and I am having problems getting it to install into the directory I want it to. The default directory is "C:\Dev-Cpp", but I would like it to install into the "C:\Program Files" directory. However, when I try to do this, I get an error saying "Installation directory cannot contain ' '. Only letters, numbers, and ':-_\' are allowed." which gets in the way of my installing it where I want it. I could just install it in the default location, but I prefer to keep my root directory clean of specific applications, or I could move it after installing it, but I really don't want to go into the registry to fix everything. So if I can't get it to install nicely I am more likely just use MSVC instead. Thanks for all assistance in advance. -- Elliott Slaughter "Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere." - Frank Herbert |
