borland 5.5 set up generate a file called BCC32.CFG Windows Notepad, MSDOS Edit

i know it does not look good if i cant even install the compiler but i really cant see what is it wants me to do or how to do it. the tutorial which i have thats the clearest says .If our compiler is BCC32.EXE we have to generate a file called BCC32.CFG in the case that it does not exists yet (If we are using an old version of Turbo C++ this file has to be called TURBOC.CFG). In order to edit te file you may use either Windows Notepad, MSDOS Edit or your favorite editor. You must make that the file include the following lines (copy all characters, even the initial -, and do not add spaces):

-IC:\BORLAND\BCC55\INCLUDE
-LC:\BORLAND\BCC55\LIB
well that may be easy if you know what that means but i just dont se it hopefully its a case of cant see the forest for all the trees. any way can some one please tell what it wants me to do to create the bcc32.cfg file so how do i edit it then sorry for sounding like a real newbie could some one tell me how to edit the file. also does this compiler run with windows xp pro its not on a list of windows in properties.

I couondt get the damn thing to work even after i made the cfg files. as far as i can tell. Open notepad. Type in what it says
-IC:\BORLAND\BCC55\INCLUDE
-LC:\BORLAND\BCC55\LIB
then save the file and call it bcc32.cfg
you have to change how notepad saves it so it saves it as the extension and not as a txt
Hope this helps. You think this is bad wait till you try and figure out how to use the damn thing

Most SDKs have some kind of compiler, but it will be a command line one, and not Visual Studio. MS isn't going to give that away for free.
