Cannot locate MinGW [message #1824018]

I have installed mingw-w64-v7..0 from SourceForge and unzipped it to C:\\MinGW

However, Eclipse is not giving MinGW as a toolchain option

and so, of course, cannot execute HelloWorld.

Do I have the right MinGW installation? Or why cannot Eclipse find MinGW?

Thanks!

I have not used Windows since XP, but if I remember correctly, you should add C:\MinGW/bin to the PATH. Did you do it?

Hmm. This may be key to my problem. There is no 'bin' folder directly within my MinGW folder. When I unzipped the mingw application, it created a folder called
mingw-w64-v7.0.0

Attached is a screenshot of what's inside that folder. I don't see anything obvious I can do to "unwrap" this or execute to create a bin folder (?)

Setting a PATH in windows can be a pain! I'm using 8.1 and the control panel has no options to add to the PATH! Frustrating!! Looking around I did find something that was related to 'system' and, on opening it, I did find a list of the PATH variables. But I could not get to it from the control panel! Luckily for me, the mingw_home path was already there, but it was not easy to find.
BTW in Eclipse there is a project properties menu that has a way to get to the environment variables and finding the compilers that are installed on your machine.
