I'm using InstallJammer to create installers for my product. The source and binaries are located on SourceForge, but when I downloaded the latest (1.2.15) tar.gz file I found no executables. I tried running the .tcl files, but without success.
As it happens, I remembered I had an InstallJammer installer (.exe) that I had downloaded months ago for the same version (1.2.15). Once I ran that, InstallJammer was installed on my Windows machine and I had an "InstallJammer.exe" file in my Program Files directory that launched the GUI. Afterwards, I searched the web for this InstallJammer installer, but was unable to find it anywhere.
My issue is solved for now, but I'm posting in case anyone else has run into this. So my official question for the benefit of all is this: how do you get InstallJammer installed on a Windows machine using the sourceforge tar.gz file? Or, alternatively, where do you find the .exe installer for InstallJammer?
Thanks
As you've probably read on the InstallJammer website, active development of InstallJammer has been discontinued. The source files are still present, but the Windows installer for version 1.2.15 is no longer available on the Sourceforge site. However there still are some download sites that have the 1.2.15 installer,
e.g. this one
Also on the old InstallJammer site there still are 2 snapshot versions with Windows executable. I haven't tried them yet, as I am still using the 1.2.15 version myself.

I use a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. I was trying to install Anaconda by following the steps mentioned on this DataCamp page. I was expecting a .exe file, instead, I got a .pkg file. I don't know how to open the .pkg file. I could see .exe files in Anaconda's archive. Not sure which one to download. Any help?
I had the same issue. You have to choose windows option cos it does not automatically detect you system. The default selected is for mac OS and thus it will download the pkg version. Its after downloading that I found out and had to redownload it.
Its really a poor web design, since the options don't really appear as options (they appear as saying anaconda is available in all these platforms) and are visibly in another section.
By default the anaconda website will set the option to MAC OS(.pkg is MAC extension) change and download by windows it works!
Anaconda often downloads the pkg version for Macs. If using windows you might want the .exe version. Make sure you click Windows on the main page to download that installer. You can also go here: https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/
Find the .exe version for windows - download it and install it.
I am trying to install mingw-w64 onto Windows. However I receive an error, "the file has been downloaded incorrectly". Redownloading the setup file again from sourceforge does not fix the problem. Is there an alternative way to install it or am I doing something wrong?
Old post but same problem, the installer doesn't seem to work.
I give the solution which works for me
You can directly download the archive of MinGW64 with your chosen configuration :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/
Once the compressed file downloaded, you have just to extract and copy/paste the MinGW64 folder( with the pre-compiled librairies) to your chosen folder ( in my case : C:\mingw64)
I got same error and solved it, after struggling a few hours. You should download MinGW64 via https://winlibs.com/#download-release.
After downloading, You should unzip mingw64 file to a folder(in my case I unzipped it to c disk; C:\mingw64)
And then you have to set up path. for that follow below steps;
open settings.
Search for Edit environment variables for your
account.
choose path variable and then select edit.
Select New and add the Mingw-w64 folder path(bin folder). In my case, I added (C:\mingw64\bin).
Select OK to save the updated path.
And reopen your cmd, then check if everything is good by typing; gcc --version
Long story short, the official installer is broken and not been fixed for years, so we have to install it manually.
The official download link above would bring you to sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win32/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe
And in the same folder that contains the installer, there's a repository.txt. (about this file)
Take a look at it, the installer basically just download and unzip the build from one of these urls within repository.txt. Choose the url you want and download/upzip it manually. (In my case, I use 8.1.0|x86_64|posix|seh|rev0 setup)
Last, setup the Path environment variable pointing to your unzipped bin folder, let say C:\mingw64\bin, and this should do the trick.
Finally, I solved this problem by downloading this:http://winlibs.com/
GCC 10.1.0 + LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB 10.0.0 + MinGW-w64 7.0.0 - release 3 (LATEST)
Win32: 7-Zip archive* | Zip archive
Win64: 7-Zip archive* | Zip archive
and set the %path%
After that, I still can't execute gcc correctly, but then I solved the problem by adding this environment variable:
"CGO_ENABLED=1"
I encountered the problem when using this golang package: https://github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
I received the same error. When I re-ran the installer as an adminstrator it was installed successfully.
I also made sure not to add any spaces to the installation path.
Following this tutorial helped me manually install MinGW for windows : youtube
So the problem for me was that when I tried to use the .exe installer, it either showed me that,
"the file has been downloaded incorrectly" , or , the /.../bin folder did not have any files in it.
In the link above, the MinGW files (including the /bin files) were manually downloaded and identified properly by the Environment Variables.
The problem is with your internet connection and/or ISP. I'm not great at networking so I'll let others be more specific. I tried installing/downloading it using my mobile's data as wifi hotspot and it worked. Hope it helps
I installed gcc-g++ through Cygwin on Windows 10. If you've ever used Cygwin on Windows, just before installing, it provides a huge list of different applications that can be used with it. Most of them, in addition to checking their install box, you can also check the source code box. I assumed this meant that it stores the source code of the application so that we can review it in order to understand how it's working.
I checked the box for gcc-g++, and I checked their source code box. However, when looking through the Cygwin installation folder, I can't seem to find where the source code is for the gcc-g++ application.
I was hoping that someone out there knew what folder their source code is stored in when installing through Cygwin to a Windows machine.
Thank you.
all cygwin source packages should be installing under /usr/src.
Whenever I try to install the Visual Studio SDK I get the following error:
Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again.
I have checked and Compatibility mode is not turned on. From what I've read, renaming the installer to vssdk_full.exe should help. That hasn't had any impact.
I got the installer from Microsoft's website.
What do I need to do to get this to install?
Are you installing on Windows 10? If so, then I have the same problem and it seems as though the current SDK setup is checking the Windows version and 10 isn't currently supported. See https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/77c61be0-1303-4040-a587-62843d321159/visual-studio-2013-sdk?forum=WinPreview2014General for more info
I have managed to get it to install on windows 10, download the sdk, it will download vssdk_full.exe, run this with /layout path which will extract the actual setup file.
Then set compatibility on the new file to win 8 and it will install just fine.
You might not need to do the/layout thing but that is what I did.

I had the same problem. I downloaded .iso file with install package form the internet. Then I mounted it using PowerISO and tried to start it from virtual CD drive. It ended up in the same message as above.
I looked it up and thought that in Properties of .exe install file, it's enough to uncheck some boxes compability section. But nothing was checked.
Soon afterwards I unzipped the package to a temporary directory with PowerISO and installed Visual from there. Worked without problems.
I had this problem, I renamed the instalation file to "vssdk_full.exe" and it installed without problems.
I downloaded file:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/glade-3.4.3-win32-1.zip
and when I extract it an run glade-3.exe from /bin folder, I get "no libxml2.dll" error.
Now, I want to find installer (like GTK+ bundle for GTK+) that would install glade3 and all it's dependencies for Windows XP.
Well glade3 worked for me after I downloaded:
iconv.dll
libxml2.dll
and put it in path
This is not the answer, but it can help run it.
Another thing. I previously installed GTK+ bundle, so if you didn't do that, you may need more dll's etc...
Just for the record, the newer version available at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/ is an installer that already includes libxml.
