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:) |

heyy thanks a alot its working!!!
Thanks for being gr8 help!!!
hai friends in my laptop when turbo is full screen then keybord is not working properly.. so someone help meeee.
great work….! it works perfectly…thnx a lot!!!
everything worked fine.
i am trying to write a very basic C++ code but when compiling , it
says :
unable to open include file ‘IOSTREAM’ .
i have used the command: #include
I have filled the directories options exactly according to the above
mentioned tutorials. help plz.
You haven’t changed the drive letter in the options->directory. Change it to the drive which you mount in the first command. e.g. if you typed like this
mount d c:\Turbo\
then change it to d in tc.
Hope it will work.
Thank u. buti got linker error mui.lib please give a solution urgent.because i am using windows7 os
getting an error : unable to locate d
hey dude… nyc post dere… works perfectly…keep up the gud work…:)
thanks..followed instructions.. worked like a charm
#include
void main()
{
printf( ” My Name is Godfather “);
}
——————————————————————————–
Error MY_NAME.CPP 1: Unable to open include file ‘IOSTREAM.H’
Fatal MY_NAME.CPP 2: Unable to create output file ‘C:\TURBO\MY_NAME.obj’
You haven’t changed the drive letter in the options->directory. Change it to the drive which you mount in the first instruction. e.g. if you typed like this
mount d c:\Turbo\
then change it to d in tc.
Hope it will work.
al 4 directory has to changed or only include directory???
i receiving this same error…
all 4 have to be changed
but a small problem:
how can i convert the output exe for 64bit to run it without dosbox???
write in 32 bit language…. or run vista.
Running Win7-64bit laptop.
I extracted the turboc.zip into c:\turbo\tc, which left me with a lot more unextracted zip files. So I extracted each of those individually.
Everything worked until step 7; when I was in D:\TC\BIN\ and entered tc, I received illegal command: tc.exe.
It’s NOT there.
I opened the turboc.zip, looked in the bin.zip, and I don’t see it there, either. So somehow the base zip and the bin zip are not right.
I see in the readme that it says you must use the installation calls, but of course, under Win7-64, this won’t run.
So what am I missing out on here?
Great. It works fine. Thanks a lot. keep posting.:)
#include
#include
int main()
{
printf(“hii”);
getch();
return 0;
}
it will give me error as follows:
unable to open STDIO.H
unable to open CONIO.H
printf should have prototype..
thanks a lot it worked perfectly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how do we open the saved files?
_/\_ IT WORKS!!
when i press alt + enter , it goes full screen but after that, it hangs , please help !!!!
Thanks a lot for this! I followed all the instructions and I got it! :))
Now I can do all my seatworks and homeworks for my Programming course. :))
Thanks a lot! God bless!
jakassh.thx alotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
For dosbox0.74:
Just in case anyone has doesn’t have the configuration file popping up in the “start-up>dosbox0.74>Configurations”, there is a different way of doing it (although, it might be the long(“-er”, or even “-est”) way.
Go to:
{system drive}:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\DOSBox\dosbox-{version}.conf
If possible “open-with” the file, using note-pad.
OR
Properties>General>”Opens with”>(select)Notepad.
for dosbox0.74
procedure is almost same , only the file to be copied in has a different name..
start menu > all programs > DOSbox0.74 > options > dosbox0.74 options
[dosbox0.74 options is a notepad file .paste the next few lines at the bottom of that notepad ]
mount d c:\Turbo\
d:
cd tc
cd bin
tc.exe
Thank you veryyyy much sir……. happy I’m back with my first loved programming language…
Thanks for d compiler. It’s working……….!!
very very thanks.

I have successfully installed turbo c++. But, the problem with this is, after i run the program successfully, i am unable to compile it. It seems to be hanged and the output is also not being displayed. When i press Ctrl+F9,the entire window is being closed.
Another issue is, once i close the window after completion of the work, to re-open it, i need to follow the entire procedure again.
Please help me to resolve these problem.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi ,
we need Turbo C++ to work on Windows Server 2008 and all its clients accessing through RDP … initially the screens were all small in RDP and now the C program is not running at all . it keeps showing an error ..
thank you for your help..
the instructions were very helpful in installing dos n turboc++. thanks.
the programs take some time to get compiled n executed, so is there any problem in my laptop?
could you also help me with making it fullscreen. alt+enter is making it large but the keyboard n mouse arent working. my laptop also notifies that the screen resolution isnt the optimum one and that the dosbox is the reason for it. could you also help me out with these problems?
btw is there a way by which i can run tc without dosbox??
