Where can I find MSVC student version download?

#1 To get the student edition you will need a valid student ID. You can then go to your local college bookstore and buy it there.

If you're just looking for a way to get free tools... Download MinGW and Eclipse, there is a resource on using them with Torque.

#2 I am also working on a DocBook to help get minGW and Eclipse setup and working with TGE. Seeing that there is a resource I am not in to much of a hurry to hammer out the docbook, going to take mytime and learn the docbook first them press forward

#3 Hi Ron and Harold,

I've downloaded MinGW, don't know what Eclipse is.., (new stars keep on coming). I tried to get it to compile using the commands given in the forums about that topic. I really need a step by step tutorial on how to use this program. Everybody was like "oh" and "ah" but I didn't got anywhere with it.

Further I've downloaded DEVC++ and tried to compile it with that progr. But there where some errors on which I (of course, as a genuine rooking masterblaster) could not get along.

So I ended up screaming for help again. Hopefully, Ron, this DocBook of you will not take too much time. The resource you where talking about, can you tell me where to find it. I hope I didn't see that before.

Thanks for your effords, help and patient.

sincerely,

Aerny

#4 Forget DevC++, the ide portion just can't handle all the files in Torque for some reason.

Aerny, stop, ... take a step back ... if you can't get a Visual Studio or Visual C++ and have to use the command line tools like MingW ( which is the compiler that comes with DevC++ ) then stop, take a lot of steps back and learn how to compile a simple single file project. Then how to compile multiple file projects then how to work with libraries and .dll's.

Codewarrior is a viable alternative for an IDE/Compiler pair and I believe that there is a Torque project for Codewarrior. It is probably one of the best C++ dev environment for Windows.

There are plenty of beginning C++ tutorials on the web.

#5 MSVC 2005 (Version 8) is free!

The TGE comes with a 2005 compile directory:

The download information is here: msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa975050.aspx

#6 4 year old post revival

#7 Yes, 6 years later and I still didn't find a proper way to install this thing...

Waste of money... ;)

No, joking apart, I still really want this app working... but whatever. Somehow I feel that I deserve the latest version, hahaha.

#8 You could try the Visual C++ 2008 Express edition
