Turbo C 3.0 is an IDE for creating C/C++ programs which runs on MS Dos (Microsoft Disk Operating System). Up to Windows XP, Turbo C 3.0 IDE runs without any problem but it is not compatible on Windows Vista or Windows 7. Many users(Especially Students ) use Turbo C IDE for writing C/C++ programs. So today I am going to explain how you can run Turbo C++ IDE on Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Method 1: Run Windows XP in Windows 7 using XP Mode and then run Turbo C from Windows XP. The new Windows XP Mode lets you run older Windows XP business software right on your Windows 7 desktop. Windows XP Mode comes as a separate download and works only with Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate. Windows XP Mode also requires virtualization software such as Windows Virtual PC. Both are available free on the Microsoft website. So if you are running Windows 7 Home Basic, this method will not work. So I am not explaining this method now.
DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X…
DOSBox also emulates CPU:286/386 realmode/protected mode, Directory FileSystem/XMS/EMS, Tandy/Hercules/CGA/EGA/VGA/VESA graphics, a SoundBlaster/Gravis Ultra Sound card for excellent sound compatibility with older games.
DOSBox is totally free of charge and OpenSource.
So you can run old DOS Games and DOS programs using the DOSBox. Follow the bellow steps to install Turbo C IDE.
MOUNT C C:\Dos
C:
C:\Dos\TCSetup\INSTALL.EXE

I have created the folder Dos containing the TC folder in it. Even then i am getting a problem with the command in step 11.
Please help me solving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
@Vishnu Priya Have you done step 5 and got output as mentioned in the screenshoot?
I have got the output for step 5 as mentioned in the screenshot.I also have a folder named TC with sub folders BIN,BGI etc inside the folder named Dos in C Drive.But i am not getting the output for the command given in step 11.
C:\>TC\BIN\TC.EXE
Illegal command: TC\BIN\TC.EXE
Help me solving this issue.Thanks.
After the step 6, try the following command
cd c:\TC\BIN\
dir
After executing the above 2 commands, you will get a list of files and folders inside the BIN folder. If the paths and installation files are correct, you will get TC.EXE in that list. Try this and verify you have TC.EXE in that folder
