Complete Installation Help?

I'm not sure where I should post this, but I'll put it here I guess, unless I'm told otherwise.

So, I've got a working setup of Code::Blocks and a compiler on my PC, but when I went to install everything on another PC, it would put out errors in a simple Hello World program.

I have no idea how I even got everything to work on my PC(it took me months of guessing what to install, since I don't know what's what)

Anyway, I'd like to have a guide on how to install Code::Blocks on a fresh Windows 7 installation.

The things I need to know most are:

1. The required software(libraries, compilers, etc.)

2. What order to install them in and whether or not there's a specific way needed to install them.

3. What settings need to be set in the programs.

If it could be put in really simple and easy steps that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

- Download a nightly from the forums
- Unzip to a target folder you like
- Also, download the additional libs required for a nightly, as posted in the nightly thread.
- Download the TDM/GCC installer
- Install the compiler
- Setup C::B's compiler options for GCC so the toolchain path is correct
- Start developing.
Compiler logging: Settings->Compiler & Debugger->tab "Other"->Compiler logging="Full command line"
