</div>
<div>You will have to be a little more specific please - see below. :-) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In regard to installation, our current level of documentation is not very good - sorry about this! I will make it better for the next release. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On windows I have made several successful installations by performing these steps:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Download and install Strawberry Perl (which actually includes a c-compiler and a fortran compiler)</div>
<div>* Optionally download and install Pythonxy</div>
<div>* Download the McStas zip archive (32 or 64 bit version for windows)</div>
<div>* Install the "core" mcstas .exe</div>
<div>* Install the "components" .exe</div>
<div>* Install the "tools" .exe <- Currently requires an internet connection!</div>
<div>* Optionally install the Python-tool exes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An important difference to the 1.x series of McStas on the Windows platform is that you need to use the mcstas-shell or mcgui- scripts on your desktop to start a fully set-up McStas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Afterwards, you should be able to perform a test via either mcgui -> mcdoc -> Test McStas installation or the command mcrun --test in the command line.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If this fails, could you please send me a screen shot where I can see the exact error you receive?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div><br>
