I'm trying to write and test code on any IDE but I keep getting the same error that "g++ is not recognized as an internal or external command". I looked this up and found that I need to install MinGW to run my code. I try to install it and it will not work, I'll include screenshots of what I'm experiencing. Is there something I'm missing?

Hello

Which version is your win 10...32 0r 64? Which version of MinGW are you trying to install?

Do you have any antivirus software? Perhaps it is cleaning the file during download.
Are you running 64 bit or 32 bit OS? The screenshot shows you’re trying to install the 32bit version.

Is this the download link?

I have Malwarebytes, but even when I close it, I get the same error. I'm running on 64 bit. I did download from that link.

I don't really know how to go about the installation setup, these settings don't make sense to me and I've been trying the default options. I'll attach a screenshot of what they are.

Is malwarebytes the free or premium version? If premium then even though you’re closing it the program may still be running in the background.
Then it should install the 64bit version.
Seems to be an old problem:

I only have the free version. I checked out the stackoverflow forum and downloaded the zip, extracted it, and moved it into my C drive. I'll attach a screenshot of that. I restarted my computer and it didn't change anything, am I missing a step?

Is there any installer within the folder?
If the site doesn’t offer any further suggestions then unfortunately I’m out of options.
