Unable to find bin floder for MInGW

Question

I want to download gcc compiler for vs code. I installed minGW .exe file from official site for 64 bit architecture. sites I took help from VS code instruction for minGW minGW official site

Now I can't see any in Bin folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0

I installed multiple time (deleted again everytime) and with another architecture too, but it's the same problem evrytime.

The bin folder is inside C:\Program Files (x86)\MinGW and C:\Program Files (x86)\MinGW\mingw-w64. I don't think a folder called i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0 exists in MinGW. — Programmer Hobbyist

A standalone version can of a more recent GCC with MinGW-w64 can be downloaded from https://winlibs.com/, it doesn't require any installation, just extract the downloaded archive.

If you still have issues you can also try uninstalling your older version.
