If you are using Proton, rather than Positron that is a very old version and I would strongly suggest you upgrade to Positron (see here) as there have been many changes and any help with code will likely contain commands that are not compatible with much older version of the compiler and so will not be of use to you.

If you meant Positron, then you should have no problems as long as you have your original installation file (Positron Compilers Setup for [your name here]), you should only need to run the exe file to install the compiler, then install any subsequent correction updates/upgrade files you have.

Good afternoon Stephen
thanks for your feedback . i have the file referred to myself and is positron not proton. will do as advised .
what in your opinion is the best environment to run the compiler .......Proton studio ? what is hen the latest version
