I want to run C programs in windows 8 but I'm unable to find a suitable compiler. Can someone please suggest a good compiler ?

I have downloaded Visual Studio Express for Desktop on my laptop but it gives the following error when I run it...

*fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/24315_607260349291481_140230389_n.jpg



I'm unable to find the Project properties

If you want to create C and C++ programs, just use this: Code::Blocks

Code Blocks works best for C/C++.
