Hi all,

I have windows vista home premium 64 bit operating system on my desktop. I want to do VC++ programming for monte carlo simulations. So I think it would be best if I could use a 64 bit VC++ compiler if possible. It would be nice if I could get some suggestions as to where can I get a 64 bit VC++ or C++ compiler.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I would recommend going for Visual Studio. There are some free Express editions, though they are slightly limited. Do you really need Visual C++? Do you really need to write in direct 64bit? If you are a uni student, google Microsoft DreamSpark.

Really busy now,

Richard

It is a fantastic site. It has not been updated in the last month, and is getting a bit messy with out-of-date betas, but is still very good. You are most welcome Dev, and I wish you luck with the to-be Operating System! (or whatever you decide to code)
