Best c++ compiler compatible with Vista 64bit?

There's no such thing as the "best" compiler because the task is far too complex and multi-dimensional. It's like asking who's best at maths :)

Any compiler you've actually heard of will be perfectly fine. If it makes you feel better, inefficiencies introduced by your code are going to outweigh compiler inadequacies by several orders of magnitude. Nothing personal - I'm in the same category with you.

Is there a problem you're trying to solve?

oOps sorry, what i was trying to say is if there is any compiler that could compile java, c,c++,vbs....(i hope not). Anyway thanks for the reply.

No single compiler is going to handle all those languages, nor would you want it to -specialisation leads to efficiency.

Java is a bytecode language, meaning it requires a JVM to execute the intermediate bytecode that's produced by a "compiler". By some strict definition, the JVM is an on-the-fly compiler. www.sun.com will have what you need - the development environment, plus the JVM.

C++ is a superset of C which means that any C++ compiler will handle C as well. The converse is not true, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a C-only compiler for Windows in general use nowadays. MS Visual Studio comes in a C++ "Express" flavour which is free.

VBScript is interpreted, not compiled. VBSCRIPT.DLL performs the actions specified in a vbs script. You don't need any additional "compilers" - all the necessary components are built into the OS.
