Doesn't `C:\Dev-Cpp' include a minus sign?
Assuming that the docs are incorrect in saying that a minus sign is not ok

4) Install the package from step 1. I recommend you unzip it
to 'C:\Dev-Cpp' (the following steps assume this is what you used).
! Do NOT install it in a directory name with spaces, plus signs, minus
! signs, slashes, or anything else that's fancy enough to break the
! compiler. That goes double for people installing in C:\Program Files.
5) Install the package from step 2 to 'C:\Dev-Cpp'. Overwrite any existing
files.
