title: Eclipse in Windows/ C++ / HelloWorld - Error starting process. Cannot run program "C:..\Hello World\src\Hello World.cpp": Launching failed
body: <p>I'm trying to set up my Eclipse for C++ coding in Windows 8 and I came up against some hurdles in creating the 'HelloWorld.cpp'. The error pointed out is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>Error starting process. Cannot run program "C:..\Hello World\src\Hello World.cpp": Launching failed</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The software used is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>eclipse-cpp-kepler-SR2-win32-x86_64, placed in C:\Program Files\</li>
  <li>MinGW, placed in C:\</li>
  <li>msys, placed in C:\</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Searching the StackOverflow answers I made the following changes/attempts:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I first build and then run</li>
  <li>run as local c/c++ application</li>
  <li>g++ --version, gcc --version, make --version : check these in the cmd and they are installed</li>
  <li>Project->properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Language: I chose GNU C++</li>
  <li>Project->properties->C/C++ Build->Tool chain Editor: I set the current toolchain with the value 'MinGW GCC'</li>
  <li>Project->properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Binary Parsers : I chose PE Windows Parsers</li>
  <li>I've used both Debug and Release options as active</li>
  <li>in the System's Properties->Environment Variables->User's Variables->Path : I added the two values C:\MinGW\bin and C:\msys\1.0\bin</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So, I don't know what else to do and any help will be greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Looking forward to any ideas!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
