Can anyone please help me where to find Ruby 64-bit installer to be installed on Windows 7 or can I install 32-bit ruby 1.8.6 or 1.9 installers(only one) on a 64-bit machine without any problem?. Any recommendations or links for documentation would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
32bits Ruby can be installed in 64bits Windows versions thanks to WOW64 (Windows on Windows functionality)
There is no Installer for 64bits Ruby, and you will find a lot of complications in that front.
I recommend you use the upcoming RubyInstallers from official RubyInstaller website:
http://rubyinstaller.org/
(Will be redirected to RubyForge, locate Preview 2 installers there). Both 1.8.6 and 1.9.1 are available.
Also, if you want more step to step instructions, please take a look to some tutorials we have collected here:

Hope that helps.
As of March 2013, the RubyInstaller team produce a 64 bit Windows build of Ruby 2.0 . My thanks to them.

But all 32 bit software works normally on Windows 7 anyway - that's worth knowing.
I have Windows 7 for quite a while now. Standard 32-bit Ruby 1.8.6 one-click installer works. I can both run Rails applications and "even" debug the code in NetBeans.

The Ruby team is still working on a 64-bit compiled version of Ruby for Windows. The 32-bit version works provided you do not need win32ole to work consistently. You will get a "Class Not Registered" error in some cases trying to instantiate a 64-bit OLE interface.
Latest I have seen on the ruby installers list is: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/browse_thread/thread/b628af0efaaae5bd
This impacts some gems like virtualbox: http://github.com/mitchellh/virtualbox/issues#issue/37

I am new to MongoDB. How can I install the MongoDB compass on 32-bit Windows? I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit installed.
Apparently the Mongodb compass page does not have a 32-bit version,
I wanted to know if there is a past version that supports 32-bits or an alternative to this application.
Thanks for the suggestions.
How to install activeperl for windows 32 bit pc? Facing issues in installing as the vversions 5.16.3.1603 and 5.18.1.1800 supports 64 bit and not 32 bit.
You can download the 32-bit version for Windows at http://strawberryperl.com/
The 32bit community binaries are now behind a paywall. You have to be part of the ActiveState Platform, teams tier, to gain access to legacy builds.
The site states: "if you need 32-bit or other older/legacy versions, they are available through our new ActiveState Platform by subscribing to at least Team Tier. See pricing here."
Since the teams tear is $912/yr. I would suggest using strawberry Perl as #kurdtpage mentioned for 32bit.
The download page for ActivePerl has links for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (64-bit, x64) installers for both 5.16.3.1603 and 5.18.1.1800, with the 32-bit versions apparently differentiated by the presence of "x86" in the name of the downloadable file for 32-bit systems.
I don't have a 32-bit machine to try installing these files on, but unless I'm missing something, it looks like they do have separate 32-bit versions available for download.
I would recommend this site: https://softradar.com/activeperl/
I use that site for much downloads.
Short version:
When I moved to Win7, I manually removed the MDAC 2.7 lines from my .ISM module, built it, and installed my software. It seems to work. Can I trust it?
Longer version:
We have just gone from XP to Windows 7. The software we deliver is C# (.NET 4 framework), targeting XP and Windows 7. It contains a few older COM modules, one of which is written in VB6. (Yes, I would love to rewrite this in a modern technology, but that's not an option at this point.)
I use InstallShield 2010 to build the installer for this package. Building this installer on XP worked with no problems. When I try on Windows 7, it wants MDAC 2.7 as a prerequisite merge module. Microsoft doesn't allow you to download 2.7 anymore, and I'm not going to get it from "Sharewarez R'us" sites.
The error InstallShield gave me when it couldn't find the merge module was: File not found. An error occured merging Module 'MDAC27ENU...'
From what I've read on the web, Windows 7 has the latest-greatest MDAC (now renamed WDAC) already installed. On a whim, I manually deleted the MDAC dependencies from the .ISM, built and installed, and my software seemed to run just fine.
What I think is happening is Win7 is noticing that something in VB6 is using MDAC and the OS is supplying the latest-greatest and it just works. I no longer need the merge module because Windows 7 has WDAC built in. (Can it really be that simple?)
My main question is: can I trust it?
My secondary question is: What about XP deployments? They will still need MDAC 2.7... Does that indicate I can't build on Windows 7 to target XP if I require MDAC 2.7? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
You need a comprehensive review (dependency analysis) of your installer. The VB6 runtime and MDAC/WDAC components are all built into windows these days. This is also the case with Windows XP and the latest service pack.
Either your ISM is referencing the MDAC merge module or it's referencing another merge module that has a dependency on the MDAC merge module. Hence why I suggest a complete review.
Without looking at your application I can't give you a 100% answer but odds are that if you implement a setup condition (launch condition) to check for XP latest service pack or newer that you will likely work without installing a bunch of stuff you don't need to be installing.
I downloaded antlrworks2 from the tunnel vision labs website and tried to install it by running the antlrworks2.exe but getting the error "antlrworks2.exe is not a valid win32 application". I tried it on Win server 2003 as well as Win 7 32 bit but I got the same error.
I am using VS 2008 for development as the target language would be C#.
Is that the right way to install antlrworks? I believe antlrworks is a stand alone application or do I also need to install antlr? Has it got any dependency?
I know of an issue where the problem you describe appears on Windows XP, but haven’t heard of this on Windows Vista or later. The problem will be fixed for ANTLRWorks 2.0.1.
#7 Support running ANTLRWorks 2 on Windows XP
ANTLRWorks 2 requires you to install Java before running it. I am not sure whether or not it will work with just the JRE (runtime only) installed, so to be on the safe side I recommend installing the JDK (development kit). I recommend Java 7 for its performance advantages; the current release is 7u13.

Can someone give me a link where i can download a gtkmm 3.0 library for development without need to build it by myself?
thanks
http://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/MSWindows
That is the best I could find. It stops at 2.8, tough.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtkmm-list/2011-April/msg00077.html
That is an email to the gtkmm mailing list from the windows installer developer. It seems that the dev doesn't have much time for it right now (or at least didn't on April 28, 2011).
Not much help, but that seems to be the state of gtk+ and gtkmm on windows right now.
The original question is old, but I post here for future visitors.
Apparently the link specified in senshikaze's answer is broken.
Windows installer (for both runtime and development stuff) is available from ftp.gnome.org
32-bit
64-bit
I built the gtkmm binaries over official gtk 3.6.4 binaries.
For 32 bit version you can download the binaries that I created, and there is also the (simple) procedure to create them yourself if you need 64 bit, everything on http://www.giuspen.com/2014/02/build-gtkmm-3-6-0-windows-binaries-on-official-gtk-3-6-4-bundle/
Gtk 3.0 library for windows is at hand from http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php/
And you could find more optional dependence on http://win32builder.gnome.org/
But Gtkmm 3.0 hasn't have an official release, but some volunteer make it, I find a good one, http://sourceforge.net/projects/tview/files/gtkmm_bin_3_6.7z/download
I created a blog on how to install latest gtkmm on Windows (step by step) here:
http://gtkmm-installation.blogspot.com/
UPDATE:
I have just compiled everything with Visual Studio, You can download my gtkmm3 development binaries for Windows x64 from my GitHub page, I also made a wiki entry on how to compile everything on your own with Visual Studio.
All of the Visual Studio projects to compile everything can also be found on GitHub.
You can install it with vcpkg.
