How to run a C++ program in Vista?

Question

How do you run a C++ program from the command prompt in Windows Vista?

Answer 1

Compile it into an EXE file, then run the EXE by typing it.

For instance, if the program you create is compiled into an executable named "mytest.exe", you would literally type "mytest" (without the quotes), and any parameters that are necessary for it to run.

You can compile it using the GNU C Compiler (appropriately named 'gcc').

Answer 2

You probably have c++ source code if you are asking how to run it.  You need a c++ editor/compiler so you can turn it into a standard 32bit exe

Answer 3

type the path and name of file.

c:/>c:/temp/cplusplusprogram.exe
