New page

[[Category:Installing]]

{{Template:version|since=3.2.1}}

Note: this page is only for those wishing to build a Win32 installer of the EPrints package. If you wish to install EPrints on Windows see [[Installing EPrints 3 on Win32]].

== Requirements ==

Microsoft Windows XP SP3 or later with .NET.

=== WiX ===

Download and install the latest stable version of WiX (3.0 as of writing) from http://wix.sourceforge.net/.

Ignore any errors reported due to missing Visual Studio (we don't need it).

Note: you will need to use the command-line tools from WiX so you may wish to relocate it to somewhere more convenient than <em>Program Files</em>.

=== Srvany.exe ===

Download and install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en.

Once installed copy the srvany.exe file to a convenient location (you can now uninstall the resource kit if you wish to).

=== EPrints MSI Package ===

Download the EPrints MSI package ZIP file (eprints-XXX-win32.zip) and unpack it to somewhere convenient. Copy srvany.exe to the unpacked directory (the same location as eprints.wsx).

== Building the MSI ==

Start a command-prompt and change to the directory you unpacked eprints-XXX-win32.zip to.

If you do not have the WiX tools in your path you will need to prepend the full path to the WiX command-line tools for <code>candle</code> and <code>light</code>

candle eprints.wsx
light -ext WixUIExtension eprints.wixobj

You should now have a "eprints.msi" installation package.

To continue installing EPrints follow the instructions at [[Installing EPrints 3 on Win32]].
