Help!!!
I've loused something up. 
Suddenly I can't run any of my .bas progs (they've all run previously). I get message Failed to compile C++ on all of them.
I think it's something to do with where the compiled file is placed, but I can't see how to change this. In the Run menu, the option to Output to Source Folder is selected.

Can you click on the error message and post what it tells you here?
If all else fails, you can always grab a fresh download from the repo and extract it into a new folder, while getting rid of the old/corrupted version once you migrate your files over.

Thanks Steve.
I downloaded and re-installed in a new folder (re-named the old one as QB64PEOld to keep my files) , then copied all of my .bas files into it, but still get the same message: C++ Compilation failed (check .\internal\temp\compilelog.txt)
and that file had this:

I also created a new file within this folder, and got the same result.

Well, I can definitely say that's a new error type message for me! It's New Years right now -- HAPPY NEW YEARS -- and I imagine everyone is out celebrating for now, so it might be tomorrow (Monday) before anyone is awake and sober enough to look into the issue deeply. Give us a little patience and we'll see what we can sort out about what's happened for you.

Happy new year.
Same for me many times when I download an update and extract it to the same folder.
Apparently some of the files are not replaced by the new ones.
Without being sure.
So I wipe the old install and unzip again, problem solved.

Gaslouk. Thanks Gaslouk. I'll give that a try - getting desperate now!
Edit:
Bingo! Removed all of the files ( saved my progs first) and re-extracted all again, and good as new! Thanks both.
Happy days!
And Happy New Year to all of youse.

Here's my trick to happy QB64ing:
1) ALWAYS Download and extract into a new folder. C:\QB64\JAN01-2023\
2) Keep ALL my work in a separate folder. C:\QB64\My Stuff\
3) Keep others stuff in a separate folder. C:\QB64\Others Stuff\
4) Always click the OUTPUT EXE TO SOURCE option.
Now, when I download an updated version, or corrupt my old version of QB64PE, all I have to do is download and extract to a new folder. C:/QB64/JAN02-2023/
Click the OUTPUT EXE TO SOURCE FOLDER on the new installation, and I'm good to go! No need to move my stuff, or others stuff... just access it like I always did.

Just so,
I even save old versions of QB64.exe. I have to rename them to get the new QB64.exe version registered with Windows so .bas files will run from latest version of QB64 with a single click from Files Browser.

Hello ! Happy New Year to everyone !
I once ran into such an error that the disk was full. it took me a long time to figure out why I was getting a "compile error" message. Do you have enough space on your drive?

Yep, lotsa space. All fixed now thanks to post#5.
Will change to Steve's suggested filing method, though, for future security.
(well, with only one folder for .bas files, as I don't keep that many).
