New installer for Windows' users

Sat, 10 May 2008 11:07:18 +0000

The new Windows version announced here has now a real installer. I created one for the current CVS version. So you should not use it with your actual collections as it can be unstable. You can download it here:

http://download.gna.org/gcstar/win32/GC … _Setup.exe (around 15MB)

Do not hesitate to report any problem with it.

As a reminder, users of other operating systems can also try the future versions using instructions to test beta or CVS versions.

New installer for Windows systems - Testers needed

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:25:26 +0000

I just created a new installer for Windows systems. Actually, it is not a real installer, but just an archive containing everything. That means all of the dependencies that GCstar needs to run, including Perl and Gtk2. You just have to download this file :

http://gcfilmslogo.free.fr/GCstar.win32 … .3.2-2.zip (around 12MB)

Just extract this archive somewhere on your disk, and then launch gcstar.bat that is in bin subdirectory. Do not hesitate to report any problem in this topic. If it doesn't work for you, it would be nice if you could try to launch gcstar.bat from a console and copy here the error reported. Also please try to test this version on some Windows machines where GCstar has never been installed before to be sure there is none of the dependencies.

If everything is OK, there will be then an installer that will use this version. It will also possible to put GCstar on a USB key and uses it everywhere with no installation.

Thanks a lot for your help.
