Version 1.02: Download and installation on Microsoft Windows cd2browse is tested only on Windows XP, however there is no obvoius reason, why it should not run on other Versions of Windows. A Full Software Package containing Perl and ImageMagick is not possible, since Active State does not allow to distribute Active Perl, so Perl and ImageMagick must be downloaded and installed by your own, though it's for free: http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.8.822-MSWin32-x86-280952.msi
download and install the 5.8 Verision distribution - approx 18 MB - this includes Perl/Tk On newer versions of active perl Perl/Tk is not included, so you have to download and install this in addition. Therefore start the PPM Package manager from your start menu after the installation of Perl itself and download/install the Package "Tk". With Perl 5.10 you have the Problem, that the Module HTML::Strip is not available in the Active State repository, this means Installing CD2Browse becomes difficult. Download and install ImageMagick: http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries/ImageMagick-6.3.6-0-Q8-windows-dll.exe This is the 8 bit dll Version,which fits exactly to the Perl version above: ImageMagick-6.3.6-Q8-windows-dll.exe (approx 7MB) If you install the latest available Verision it does not fit to to Perl 5.8
If you need other Image Magick binary windows versions, you can get it from:http://image_magick.veidrodis.com/image_magick/binaries alternatively use: http://ftp.wl.sggw.pl/pub/graphics/ImageMagick/beta/?C=D;O=D To install the new CD2Browse Version 1.02 on Windows, there are two packages available:- setup_CD2Browse_102_without_Perl.exe (approx. 3.2Mb) which contains all you need except Perl and Image Magick. Use this Package if you have Perl with Perl/Tk and Image Magick installed, but not xpdf and catdoc.
- setup_CD2Browse_102_no_binaries.exe (approx. 415Kb)which contains just the Perl scripts and their environment. Use this Package if you want to upgrade a earlier version of CD2Browse, or if you have the necessary binaries perl, ImageMagick, xpdf and catdoc already installed.
