BASIC programming in windows 2000??

[lupin]

I want to try creating a program in BASIC (the old programming lang). Problem is, I'm on windows 2000. How do I do it???

 

[Descartes]

Umm, in console type 'qbasic'

I can't imagine why you'd want to do that though...

 

[Killbat]

C'mon, Frost. MS stopped distributing QBasic with their OS's five years ago.

<<Umm, in console type 'qbasic'>>

Nope, QBASIC isn't included in win2k.

 

[konichiwa]

Nothing a little NorthernLight.com lovin' can't help

 

Hahaha, it was in the betas. Right along with the source code for GORILLA.BAS. It was probably the most bug-free part of Win2k

arrghhh..

so is there another solution??

When you try to run QBasic in Windows 2000, you are greeted with:
'qbasic' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You can find QBasic in the help file, but you can't find it on your disk or on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

I guess they forgot to copy it.

For now, mount your Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM and switch to the folder containing qbasic.ex_. Then type:

expand qbasic.ex_ %systemroot%\system32\qbasic.exe
expand qbasic.hl_ %systemroot%\system32\qbasic.hlp
