Trouble installing/creating programs in Pelles C 9.00

[BCBirdman]

My initial attempts to install Pelles-C on my Windows 7 X64 system because of Bitdefender blocking changes to "Protect Folders".
If I attempt to open a newly created project I get the following:

Check this:

To add the folder to the Exclusions list, follow these steps:

    Open the Bitdefender window.

    Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar.

    In the Settings Overview window, select Antivirus.

    In the Antivirus Settings window, select the Exclusions tab.

    Make sure Exclusions for files is turned on by clicking the switch.

    Click the Excluded files and folders link.

    Click the Add button, located at the top of the exclusions table.

    Click Browse, select the folder that you want to be excluded from scanning and then click OK.

    Click Add and then click OK to save the changes and close the window.

Crappy AV software works with heuristic "detections". Pelles C is clean, but under the hood there may be some unusual code, so BitDefender cries foul. It's called false positive.

Btw no need to spam the forum with three identical new threads.
