Optional: You can also install MingW, but VS2008 installation is easier

Download "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1" from:

http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions/express

(if not found or relocated, google for "visual studio 2008 express" for

updated link)

You can also download full ISO file for offline installation, just

choose "All - Offline Install ISO image file" in the previous page and

choose "Visual C++ 2008 Express" when installing.

.. note::

  Using other versions of Visual Studio will lead to random crashes.

  You must use Visual Studio 2008!"

.. note::

  Silverlight Runtime and SQL Server 2008 Express Edition are not

  required, you can uncheck them

.. note::

64bit: You also need to install the Microsoft Windows SDK for .NET 3.5 SP1 (.NET 4.0 won't work).

Download from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3138

.. note::

64bit: You also need to copy and rename a .bat file to make the Visual C++ compiler work.

I am not sure why this is not necessary for 32bit.

Copy C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars64.bat to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvarsamd64.bat

Step2 - Install Python

----------------------

Install Python 2.x.y (x >= 5) x86 version (32bit). DO NOT USE A 3.x version.

Download Python 2.x.y from:

http://www.python.org/download/

Choose "Windows Installer" (32bit version) not "Windows X86-64

Installer". While writing this guide, the latest version was v2.7.3.

Remember the specific major and minor version installed, because it will

be needed in the next step. In this case, it is "2.7".

.. note::

64bit: Just download and install the 64bit version of python.

Step3 - Install Win32py extensions

----------------------------------

Download pywin32 from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/

- Click on "pywin32" folder

- Click on the first folder (in this case, Build 217, maybe newer when you try)

- Choose the file ending with ".win32-py2.x.exe" -> x being the minor

  version of Python you installed (in this case, 7)

  When writing this guide, the file was:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20217/pywin32-217.win32-py2.7.exe/download

  .. note::

64bit: Download and install the 64bit version.

At the time of writing you can find this at: 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/pywin32-218.win-amd64-py2.7.exe/download

Step4 - Python BIN

------------------

Add Python BIN folder to the path

You have to add the Python folder to the path, you can do it manually

(editing "PATH" environment variable) or using Windows Support Tools

that came preinstalled in Vista/7 and can be installed in Windows XP.

- Using support tools on WINDOWS XP:

  If you use Windows XP you can install them using Windows XP CD and

  navigating to \SUPPORT\TOOLS. There, execute Setup.EXE (not MSI).

  Afterwards, open a CMD and type::

    SETX PATH "%PATH%;[your-python-path]" -M

  Close CMD (the path variable will be updated then)

- Using support tools on WINDOWS Vista/7:

(the file is located at

https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py)

Create a virtual Python environment in C:\\RhodeCode\\Env (or similar). To

do so, open a CMD (Python Path should be included in Step3), navigate

where you downloaded "virtualenv.py", and write::

 python virtualenv.py C:\RhodeCode\Env

(--no-site-packages is now the default behaviour of virtualenv, no need

to include it)

Step7 - Install RhodeCode

-------------------------

Finally, install RhodeCode

Close previously opened command prompt/s, and open a Visual Studio 2008

Command Prompt (**IMPORTANT!!**). To do so, go to Start Menu, and then open

"Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition" -> "Visual Studio Tools" ->

"Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt"

.. note::

64bit: For 64bit you need to modify the shortcut that is used to start the

Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. Use right-mouse click to open properties.

Change commandline from::

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86

to::

%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" amd64

In that CMD (loaded with VS2008 PATHs) type::

  cd C:\RhodeCode\Env\Scripts (or similar)

  activate

The prompt will change into "(Env) C:\\RhodeCode\\Env\\Scripts" or similar

(depending of your folder structure). Then type::

 pip install rhodecode

(long step, please wait until fully complete)

Some warnings will appear, don't worry as they are normal.
