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:

  • Install ActivePerl 5.8 (later versions will not work)
  • Install ActivePython
  • Download the latest TPP here and install

Here are the detailed instructions. The screenshots are large; don't miss the instructions interspersed between them:

Contents

First install ActivePerl 5.8 and ActivePython

ActivePerl

Go to www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl

Save to desktop. Double-click to install.

ActivePython

The ActivePython installation is very similar to the ActivePerl installation.

  • Go to www.activestate.com/Products/activepython
  • Click "Download" for Standard distribution
  • Next screen asks for personal data -- not necessary to enter. Just click "continue".
  • Download MSI latest version of ActivePython. Select x86 or 64-bit as appropriate.
  • 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

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. image:install9-installation-complete.png
