Unzipping this and running it without an install does not work on Win 7 32-bit OS. I've installed it at home on Win 10 64-bit OS and it works great.

I currently get the error message: [Window Title] ...\cppcheck-1.70\cppcheckgui.exe [Content] The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running.

Hi I'd like to contribute / submit a trac report but don't seem to be able to create an account - what do I need to do? thanks Rob

Thanks for Reply Bassam, Got it working after copying into cppcheck directory. Thanks and Regards Atulya

Atulya, The only file that needs to be in the platforms directory is qwindows.dll. All the other DLLs need to be in the root folder with the Cppcheck executable. Bassam

Hi CPPCheck Team, Greetings !! I have copied a cppcheck installed folder on a machine, where I don't have admin rights to install. While running cppcheck from command prompt I am getting below error msvcp120.dll is missing on my system. I have ... [More] copied the above missing dll in platforms directory. But still, I am getting same above error. Any suggestions how I can resolve this problem? Regards Atulya [Less]
