- To install Turbo C on Windows 7 32bit :
- As I`ve posted an article about installing Turbo C on Windows 7 32bit.So you can get this issue resolved here.
- To install Turbo C on Windows 7 64bit :
- Many of my friends having Windows 7 64bit, are using Virtual Window installing softwares to run Turbo C by using Windows XP.But here`s the simple solution for this.
This problem can be resolved using a mere 1.38MB software named DOSBox thus saving your lot of pc hardware and software utilization. So inorder to get things work we need to follow these steps :- Install the software DOSBox. download here
- Download and extract TC. download here
- Make sure that the DOSBox and TC are in the same directory and the TC.exe application is in the Folder TC>>BIN>>TC.exe for this to work.
- Run DOSBox
- Type the following commands at the command prompt mount d c:
- Now you should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:
- Type d: to get into d:
- Next follow the commands below:
cd tc
cd bin
and tc or tc.exe [This starts your Turbo C]

- [Important Step] In Turbo C Editor, go to Options>Directories>Change Directories>Change the source of TC to the source directory [D](i.e. virtual D: refers to original c:).
- Check out this video to implement the above steps.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc7D3HLi7Ps
- For Full Screen : ALT + Enter.
- Do not use CTRL + F9(Keyboard Shortcut) to run and execute programs.
Now to start Turbo C everytime, you need to follow the above steps, so to save your time :
- Go to Program Files.
- Get into DosBox folder.
- Find “DOSBox 0.74 Options” and edit it using notepad(move to the end of file).
- And paste the code as shown in image below.
By the end of this step, Turbo C will load automatically as you click on DosBox icon.

cmdprompt did the following automatically
**************
mount d c:\
d:

sorry i know dis is irrelevant to ur post
Hi, this is not irrelevant to my post friend, yes once you edit the DOSBox 0.74 options .txt file, these functions will be implemented automatically. After that, just a single click on a the DOSBox icon is enough to open the Turbo C Editior.
These are added to the above mentioned text file, so that users do not have to repeat the same task over and over again.
you didnt get me sir what i asked u is not in dosbox 0.74 options
i am asking that how i can implement dis concept of operating automatically for other purpose should i write any program
Yeah, you were right that this is irrelevant to the post..
Frankly, I’m unaware about any such tricks as of now, but will search for you and let you know about this.
double click on “DOSBox 0.74 Options.batDOSBox 0.74 Options.bat”
“dosbox-0.74.conf” can be open automatically
in end of file you can type
————————–
mount d c:\
d:
cd tc
cd bin
tc.exe
—————————-
save the file
after run the “DOSBox.exe”
When I typr cd tc. It says ” UNABLE TO CHANGE TO: TC”
Pls let me know what I have to do next pls.

Hi Anusha, use the tool which I shared to install Turbo C(at the end of the post). Ignore the DOSBox installation process.
Hi Amit,
I just installed Turbo C following all the steps mentioned above.
But, I am encountering the same error statement “UNABLE TO INCLUDE FILE STDIO.H”, even though I am giving the correct path to include the directories and library via OPTIONS.
I guess many have posed the same question above, but non of the solutions are helping.
Kindly help. Thanks for your time.

Hi Amit
I tried to Install TurboC Simulator Installer in my Windows 7 Ultimte, but it says that I should be logged in as Admin.. even though i am a part of admin group.. Plz help is there anything i can do here.
Hi Satya, at the time of intalling the Turbo C Simulator, please right click on the program and run it as an administrator.
i hve windows7….i installed turbo c simulator, but still it says “this version of file is not compatible with the version of windows you are running….” what do i do pls help…
Hi Num, But I’ve already tested TurboC Simulator on both the versions(Windows 32 bit and Windows 64 bit). Please try to re-install it. Let me know if you still face any difficulties.
Meanwhile I’ll try to find some more alternatives.
Thanks for this wonderful solution! But i am sorry to say that i am unable to run my graphics programs with this setup! It’s correctly compiling them but giving errors while i am trying to run!
plz help.
Will research about that a bit, will surely let you know the solution if I find any.
Thank U. I will b waiting 4 a solution. What I guess is may be it’s not getting the bgi files while linking. In invocation on initgraph() we have to give path of the .bgi files. Because in this case it’s D:\TC\BGI (even though in actual case it’s available in c:\tc\bigi) I have supplied this path but the program is unable to link and not is recognizing the graphics routines like initgraph(),putpixel(), getpixel() etc. Even i have tried by copying all the .bgi files to the bin dir but still it’s not working. Plz verify and suggest a solution. U can try running this sample program:
#include
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT, gm;
initgraph(&gd, &gm, “D:\\TC\\BGI”);
putpixel(200,200,RED);
closegraph();
}
Thanks a ton for the link you gave below Amit..!!!!
Tried a lot of other stuffs before this. At last your link just saved me for this semester!! XD
Happy, that it solves your problem.

Hi Honny, please don’t use the Key-board short-cut to run the program as it would close the DOSBox program, use the Compile and Run method listed in the menu of the Turbo C editor.

Ur too good.. everything worked… hats off to you and greatly appreciate ur talent and skill…
Thanks
thanks for sharing TurboC Simulator .
those people facing some problems using TurboC Simulator , please note that you need to install your TC on a path without any Space in it ! this should solved your problem .
another problem different users emailed me about , was because of the faulty .net framework on their system or simply not being installed already!
so if you get errors like :
” unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application”
this means that either you dont have any .net framework 2 installed on your system , or your .net framework is faulty ,
this has nothing to do with the application , so you need to fix your system
you can find solution to this problem by visiting this page e.g:

hope this helps you more people .
