Wish to install Turbo C on Windows 7 (64bit) ?? Here's How...

Follow these steps to install Turbo C on Windows 7 (64bit):

1. First you need to Install DOSBox (recommended version 0.73)
2. Create a folder, for example "Turbo" in any drive (example- C:\Turbo\)
3. Download and extract TC into that "Turbo" folder (C:\Turbo\)
4. Run the DOSBox.



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]


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 )
