Intalling the Windows version of the TPP is fairly straightforward. Detailed instructions with lots of screenshots appear below. However, the following brief instructions may be sufficient:
- Make sure that you have rights to install software on your computer (i.e. Admin privileges)
- Install ActivePerl 5.8 (later versions will not work)
- Download the latest TPP here and install
Here are the detailed instructions. The screenshots are large; don't miss the instructions interspersed between them:
First install ActivePerl 5.8
ActivePerl 5.8 is not the most current version. Be sure to install 5.8, not 5.9, 5.10, or any later version.
Go to www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl
DON'T click "Download Now" -- click the fine-print link "Other Systems and Versions".
Scroll down to the section for ActivePerl 5.8.9.826 MSI. Select x86 or 64-bit as appropriate and click "Windows Installer (MSI)"
Save to desktop. Double-click to install.
Now install TPP
(If you are not currently reading this from the spctools.org website: go to www.spctools.org/wiki, click on TPP in left nav bar, and click Windows Installation.)
Go to the TPP page at the Sourceforge website
Select .exe file and save to desktop
Double-click resulting icon, then select "run"
License Agreement - agree
Installation typically takes less than a minute
You will see a welcome install popup -- read and click OK. You will see another popup asking to install and configure a webserver on your computer. This is necessary. If you agree, click OK. Finally you will see an "installation complete" popup -- choose whether to reboot now or later.
