64 bit installation for windows #316

Closed gopik19 closed 6 years ago

gopik19 commented 6 years ago

After downloading the yaws.2.04 (or even other versions like 2.02) and trying to install it from 64 bit, I get crash dump. However when I try to install the same on 32 bit windows 7, it works. Also I tried to install from cygwin as Administrator on windows 2012 r2, (make fails- so gave all privileges to Admin- nothing get's created.) crash dump! Appreciate anyone's help. Many Thanks.

Sorry forgot to add - it even works on 64 bit windows 7. But fails on advanced server 2012 r2. May be a good problem for the great mind and useless problem for the rest...no luck for me here. Anyways, many thanks in advance to anyone who is thinking of helping me. I believe in such open source spirits!. Thanks

Found the solution. Just opened the cygwin as Administrator, downloaded Yaws-2.04-windows-installer.exe. Copied file to my cygwin directory (in my case, c:\home\Administrator\Yaws-2.0.4) ran the exe command from cygwin, (which created bin directory under Yaws-2.0.4). Then searched for yaws.ex (It was under bin); now ran this choosing "Run in compatible mode (Windows 8 in my case)"- which tested it and ran it. Saved the settings. Special thanks to all those who tried or looked in to this.

Hi Gurus, I believe I am in 64 bit mode with this config. When I use my OTP/Erlang (64 bit) & other 64 bit programs from windows advanced server 2012 r2- will I get in to 32 bit/64 bit compilation problems? See the problem is I am new and dumb when it comes to programming - which anyone can make out. Anyways thanks to people who have written such programs and You people are amazing. Thanks
