Sadly the .msis don't appear on the download page.<BR>
Perhaps they are there but not indexed?<BR>
Not that I can tell.<BR>
<BR>
There are some here:<BR>

<BR>
<BR>
I'll try them out and make some new ones, from the release branch.<BR>
Last I tried, and probably currently, there is an unfortunate strict<BR>
matching requirement between our build and what version of Visual C++ you use.<BR>
Therefore it behooves us to e.g. provide Visual C++ 8.0 and 9.0 builds.<BR>
I suggested we double up the Hudson NT386 tasks in that way.<BR>
I can upload pairs (or more) of .msis, but we are sort of supposed to not<BR>
take "random developer builds" but use "official package builds".<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I find the fact that we produce 10+ packages per platform..confusing, overwhelming.<BR>
I wish there was just one or perhaps two, even though they'd be large.<BR>
I understand people like to factor things into small pieces, but monolithism has its upsides.<BR>

Try the .msi instead.<BR> <BR>Try this maybe, I can't find the link on the web page (maybe lost in the crash?)<BR><A href="http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/www/installation-windows.html?rev=1.5;content-type=text/plain">http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/www/installation-windows.html?rev=1.5;content-type=text%2Fplain</A><BR> <BR> <BR>I should edit/rewrite those.<BR> - The bit about "upgrade is pessmistic" isn't true, as my Russian friend says, it is "realistic".<BR> There are several breaking changes that motivate doing it the way upgrade does it.<BR> <BR> - I should steer people to Python instead of cmd (really).<BR> <BR> - Mentions of 5.2.6 and 5.5.0 and maybe even building from source should probably go away.<BR> Leave this for "more beginners".<BR> <BR> - I need to update the Visual C++ redistributable link (9.0SP1 vs. 9.0).<BR> <BR> - The config file path is wrong.

This is my new attempt at that. I<BR>> downloaded the NT386 files and have them unpacked. I have put cm3 in<BR>> e:\cm3 and have e:\cm3\bin in my path. The first problem I came across is<BR>> that when I ran cminstall it asked for a tar.exe, gzip.exe, and<BR>> msys-1.0.dll. I just happened to have msys installed on my computer and<BR>> dropped them in the folder and cminstall seemed to work. I just wanted to<BR>> let you know. Second, e:\cm3\bin\cm3ide.exe was in the bin directory and<BR>> so I ran it per the suggestion on your website. It asked a few questions<BR>> about what browser I wanted to use and such. The browser does pop up on<BR>> localhost:3800 but times out. The console spits out:<BR>> <BR>> Recovering user state from E:\cm3\bin\CM3_IDE.cfg1<BR>> calling start_browser(http://localhost:3800/)<BR>> starting TCP service<BR>> start /wait "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"<BR>> http://localhost:3800/<BR>> CM3-IDE is shutting down because start_browser() returned TRUE.<BR>> TCPServer: IP.Error: TCP.Unexpected *** 10093 *** TCP.Accept<BR>> TCPServer: aborting...<BR>> <BR>> I am thinking maybe something else might be running on the port and<BR>> causing a problem loading page. I copied the startReactor.cmd to the bin<BR>> directory and tried it and got the following:<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> startReactor.CMD, written by R.C.Coleburn 08/13/2003, v1.13 08/29/2003 by<BR>> RCC<BR>> <BR>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> FATAL ERROR: Unable to find CM3 installation.<BR>> CM3_ROOT expected in folder C:\cm3<BR>> CM3_BIN expected in folder C:\cm3\bin<BR>> CM3.EXE expected in file C:\cm3\bin\cm3.exe<BR>> Reactor.EXE expected in file C:\cm3\bin\reactor.exe<BR>> cm3SetupCmdEnv.CMD expected in file C:\cm3\bin\cm3SetupCmdEnv.CMD<BR>> <BR>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>> Which it is installed on e: instead of c: but there is not a reactor.exe<BR>> file in the bin directory either. From that information I am thinking I<BR>> should define CM3_ROOT and CM3_BIN in my environment? I put CM3_HOME as<BR>> e:\cm3.<BR>> <BR>> This is FYI and will let you know if I continue and any other experiences<BR>> that might be of use.<BR>> <BR>> Thank You,<BR>> Micah<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> Ticket URL: <http://projects.elego.de/cm3/ticket/1082><BR>> CM3 <http://projects.elego.de/cm3><BR>> Critical Mass Modula3 Compiler<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- End forwarded message -----<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> Olaf Wagner -- elego Software Solutions GmbH<BR>> Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25 / Gebäude 12, 13355 Berlin, Germany<BR>> phone: +49 30 23 45 86 96 mobile: +49 177 2345 869 fax: +49 30 23 45 86 95<BR>> http://www.elegosoft.com | Geschäftsführer: Olaf Wagner | Sitz: Berlin<BR>> Handelregister: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB 77719 | USt-IdNr: DE163214194<BR>> <BR> </body>
