How to install Turbo C++ on Windows 7 64bit
Few days ago we have posted an article about installing Turbo C++ on 32 bit Windows 7. Now we are providing step-by-step procedure how to install Turbo C++ on 64 bit Windows 7.
| 1. Install the software DOSBox ver 0.73 : download here |
| 2. Create a folder,for example „Turbo“ (c:\Turbo\) |
| 3. Download and extract TC into the Turbo folder (c:\Turbo\): download here |
| 4. Run the DOSBox 0.73 from the icon located on the desktop: |
 |
| 5. Type the following commands at the command prompt [Z]: mount d c:\Turbo\ [The folder TC is present inside the folder Turbo] |
| Now you should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\ |
 |
| 6. Type d: to shift to d: |
 |
| 7. Next follow the commands below:
cd tc cd bin tc or tc.exe [This starts you the Turbo C++ 3.0] |
 |
| 8. In the Turbo C++ goto Options>Directories> Change the source of TC to the source directory [D] ( i.e. virtual D: refers to original c:\Turbo\ . So make the path change to something like D:\TC\include and D:\TC\lib respectively ) |
How to start TurboC++ in the DOSBox automatically:You can save yourself some time by having DOSBox automatically mount your folders and start TurboC++: |
| For DOSBox versions older then 0.73 browse into program installation folder and open the dosbox.conf file in any text editor. For version 0.73 go to Start Menu and click on “Configuration” and then “Edit Configuration“. Then scroll down to the very end, and add the lines which you want to automatically execute when DOSBox starts. |
| Automatically mount and start Turbo C++3.0 in DOSBox ver 0.73: |
 |
| Scroll down to the very end, and add the lines: |
 |
| Those commands will be executed automatically when DOSBox starts! |
| Please note:
Full screen: Alt and Enter When you exit from the DosBox [precisely when u unmount the virtual drive where Turbo C++ 3.0 has been mounted] all the files you have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ 3.0 will be copied into the source directory(The directory which contains TC folder) Don’t use shortcut keys to perform operations in TC because they might be a shortcut key for DOSBOX also . Eg : Ctrl+F9 will exit DOSBOX rather running the code . VIDEO tutorial (there is another setup – original path to Turbo C++ is h:\tc\ and drive H is mounted as drive C:) |

Hi, I am a new Windows 7 64 bit user.
I successfully installed Turbo C but I don’t know what’s wrong!!!, I can’t compile anything, the compiler doesn’t include the iostream file.
some ideas?
when i am compiling the program .it give error that conio.h and stdio.h is not included..
so how should i remove this error….???
Andrea, amrit: Did you follow instructions? You must change Turbo C++ options:
In the Turbo C++ goto Options>Directories> Change the source of TC to the source directory [D] ( i.e. virtual D: refers to original c:\Turbo\ . So make the path change to something like D:\TC\include and D:\TC\lib respectively )
this works a lot…thank God
I also got the above error mentioned by Amrit.
I changed the directory settings in the C++ . Then also getting the same error!
Please help ..
whenever i run a program the dos window closes.what is d solution?
Don’t use CTRL+F9 keystroke to run a program… it will close DOSbox.

Hey
I’m also encountering the same error of not being able to include header files. I’ve also changed the directories in options->directories…
Please Help
Hi ,
Those who are getting the error : Unable to find header files(.h),
I solved the problem, Try to install the Dosbox and Turbo C software from the links mentioned in this site and follow the instructions exactly as mentioned in this site.
At the begning when you are running the turbo C , I got the error that invalid directory.Then Change Options –> Environment –> Directories –> Give your virtual directory name.
Thank you ..
thank u very much us help….
it mean a lottttt
once i run c++ and compile the prog i get an error which tells header file cant be included!!!!
miss ash…
while running c++…goto options>directories…
then in window opened will show path of lib & include….
they are by default opened in ‘c’
so change it to ‘d’
i.e…in 1st one D:\TC\include & in 2nd line D:\TC\lib…
thank u very much………………..
