title: Cannot run C program compiled with MinGW Dev-C++ on 64bit Vista
body: <p>A few days ago I started programming with C after programming with C++, however, my Windows Vista 64bit machine was unable to create a C project. I recompiled the code with the MinGW Dev-C++ compiler without issue.</p>
  <p>However, when I ran the code I received the following error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Unsupported 16-Bit Application</strong></p>
  <p>The program or feature <code>&quot;\??\C:\Dev-Cpp\gcc.exe&quot;</code> cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Is this a problem with compiling C code using a C++ compiler?</p>
