Installing C++ compiler with no admin permission

Viewed 5885

Note: In my original question I asked about Code Blocks, so that's why people are talking about it.

I have a home PC with Visual Studio (2019) installed on it. But as I got a new laptop in school where I'm not the administrator, I would like to compile my C++ code on it as well. I tried to install "MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64 bit Windows" but it requested admin rights and my school administrator didn't want to give me them. What options do I have then?

You can download the 7z file from : https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/

If you intend to install the windows version, click the x86_64-posix-seh from MinGW-W64 GCC-8.1.0, and just uncompress the 7z file.

As @Yksisarvinen states in the comments section above - you could download codeblocks. The non-admin zip file includes a C++ compiler. Probably the quickest way through.

You can find it here - http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries
