Installed CodeBlocks (12.11) to a new laptop with Windows 8. But it does not start the program.
When turned on, it gives such a mistake:

CAN’t Find Compiler Executable in Your Configured Search Path’s For Openwatcom (W32) Compiler

Answer 1, Authority 100%

Install the compiler.
Or download the assembly together with the compiler.

for example here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files /Binaries/12.11/windows/codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe/download

Answer 2, Authority 50%

In the settings where the compiler has dropped the settings – Reset Defaults, and helped me. Also daw on the desired compiler.
