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:) |

i already had dosbox installed bt i was unable to figure it out how to start cpp 4m it,,, thaks to u guys,
bt i want u to tell how to automatically mount in dosbox ver0.74.
Do the exact same steps. The only difference is the way you go to the config file. it’s done like this for DOSBox ver0.74 :
Start -> All Programs -> DOSBox-0.74 -> Options -> DOSBox-0.74 Options
Please help me for running graphics program in this compiler…it’s giving an error : graphics not initialized use ‘initgraph’,though i used this function..
change the directrics of c++
FOR ME ITS COMING AS INVALID ARGUMENT

after downloading several versions of tc…….finally this way worked.
thanks a ton.
Why do you guys need to you this ancient compiler???
Turbo C++ is a 16-bit software & it can’t even compile source codes bigger than 64 KBs. Try making a big program sometime & you’ll “run out of memory”!
Move on to bigger, better faster options like …
• GNU GCC Compiler
• MS VC++
• Digital Mars
• Cygwin GCC
• Intel C\C++ Compiler
These compilers produce much better & faster executing files.
As far as IDEs go I prefer
• Net Beans
or
• Code Blocks
I Am So thanxfull to you… i installed sucsesfully c++ on my windows 7……..

hi why is my pc reporting that unable to change to:tc
Pls someone help. I followed through all of the steps. A nd finally when i typed tc or tc.exe, it complained of an error but it still run the Turbo c. When i closed the Dlos Box program, i didnt know how to launch Turbo c anymore. When i launched Dos Box, it returned me b back to the very beginning. Does that mean that each time i want to use turbo c i have to go thru this process over and over again?
thanks for suggestion
it really proved ie helpful for me.
