Vista - Miracle C and CMD Prompt

Jeffra · 08-27-2009

Hello All - I am taking a C programming class and they have us using Miracle C. I finally got it installed and working (compiles and creates the .exe). My problem is that when I run the executible that it creates, I get the following message:

The program or feature "\??\C:\Goodbye.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64 bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor and ask if a 64 bit Windows compatible version is availible.

I have Vista Home Premium. It does say 64 bit in properties, but I thought this was really a 32 bit OS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Two flavors of vista 64bit and 32 bit. seems like you have 64 and need 32 for miracle C. I dont know if it would run under WOW (windows on windows) as 32 bit

Hi Jeffra,
Check the link below to see if it is indeed the Miracle C program that you are referring to.
[Note that it says - The Miracle C compiler version 3.2 runs under 32-bit MS Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP]
