Turbo C++ editor installation

Turbo C++ is an older Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for C and C++ programming. It was popular in the MS-DOS and early Windows days. However, it's quite outdated and not recommended for modern programming. There are much better and up-to-date alternatives available like Visual Studio, Code::Blocks, or Dev-C++, among others. Still, if you specifically need to install Turbo C++, here are the steps:

Note: Turbo C++ was designed for older versions of Windows, like Windows 98, XP, and earlier. It may not work properly on modern Windows versions without some additional tweaks or compatibility settings.

1. Download Turbo C++:
You can find Turbo C++ online on various websites. Download the installation file (usually a zip or rar archive).
2. Extract the Archive: Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to a folder on your computer. I have downloaded the turbo c++ 3.2 and extracted it as mentioned below:
3. Run the Installer:
Locate the installation file (typically "install.exe" or "setup.exe") and run it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Turbo C++.
4. Choose Installation Directory:
During the installation, you will be prompted to select the installation directory. By default, it's usually in the C:\TC or similar directory.
5. Complete the Installation:
Continue following the prompts and complete the installation process.
6. Run Turbo C++:
After the installation is complete, you can run Turbo C++ by finding its shortcut in the Start Menu or by navigating to the installation directory and running the program (usually "tc.exe").

Note: Turbo C++ might have issues running on modern Windows versions. If you encounter compatibility issues, you can try the following steps:

  • Right-click on the Turbo C++ shortcut or executable.
  • Choose "Properties."
  • Navigate to the "Compatibility" tab.
  • Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" option and select an older version of Windows (e.g., Windows XP).
  • Click "Apply" and then "OK."

Remember that using Turbo C++ for modern programming is not recommended. You should consider using a more up-to-date IDE, as mentioned earlier, to ensure compatibility with modern C++ standards and features.
