[GAP Forum] GAP Installer for Windows

[Alexander Konovalov]

Dear GAP Forum,

Let  me  announce  an  experimental  GAP  Installer  for Windows which
provides  standard  installation procedure that will guide you through
all steps of the installation process.

I   created   it  using  NSIS  (Nullsoft  Scriptable  Install  System,
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/)  -  an  open  source  tool  for building
installers for Windows.

Downloads, instructions and screenshots are available from:

http://ukrgap.exponenta.ru/wininst/wininst.htm

To install GAP 4.4.6 and packages, you need the following two files:

ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/windowsinstaller/gap4r4p6.exe
(45,4 MB): The core GAP system with optional components tools, htmie
and xtom

ftp://ftp.gap-system.org/pub/gap/windowsinstaller/packages-2005_10_07-15_11_UTC.exe
(31,7 MB): A merged archive of all currently redistributed GAP
packages


Sincerely yours,
Alexander Konovalov
