code::blocks wont run

[sand_man]

I installed code::blocks and so far I really like the IDE but for some reason I cant run my apps from within the IDE.

Project   : Console application
Compiler  : GNU GCC Compiler (called directly)
Directory : G:\work\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Executing: D:\Program Files\CodeBlocks/console_runner.exe "G:\work\main.exe"  (in .)
Command execution failed...

Anybody else have the same trouble?

That sounds to me as if it couldn't stomach the space in the "Program Files". Experimentally install code::blocks in a directory that doesn't have any spaces in its path and see if it works.

You are right, it worked. But it seems stupid that "D:\Program Files\CodeBlocks" is the default install directory

there should be a way to tamper with the settings file and force it to wrap the console_runner.exe with "...".

Not quite. many gnu tools I've used "think" they're on *nix and ignore whitespaces in paths. So you'll end up with that.
