Thank you for you answer.
But actually, a RAD and an IDE, it's not the same thing. DevC++ is an IDE which means you can't "draw" your user interface, you have to write every line on your own.
VisualC++ is a RAD so that you can build your user interface as if you were drawing it over paintshop. For example, another famous RAD is Borland BuilderC++.

Well, in fact, I succeeded in installing VisualC++ Express edition. The issue is that I didn't know that the MFCs don't work with this edition. So it is not really useful to me...
I have to get another free RAD. Otherwise, i'll try to install VisualC++ (pro edition). Actually, I haven't tried to do it yet because it is on 2 ISO image and I don't have a burner. I could install other Microsoft products because they are on just one ISO so that I could open the file with WinRAR and then launch the setup. I don't think it's gonna work if there are 2 ISO image... Do you think I should try ?

Thanks
