Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your help. I think the one thing missing  in the manual was the requirement of strawberry perl installation, otherwise the manual looks ok in case of installation instructions. Thanks again.
Regards
Robert

Hi Robert,

I think that looks quite OK - one instrument fails compiling, that one I should be able to reproduce and fix here.

Best,

Peter

Dear,
Below is the screen of the test run. I guess it is working now. Is the accuracy of the instrument test ( 0 .. 7 %) ok?
Best regards

I m trying to install Mcstas on a 64 bit window machine. The version I m trying to install is mcstas-2.0-win64 version. I m struggling to get it running. When I perform the run test as it is stated in the manual I get errors. Any help please.

You will have to be a little more specific please - see below. :-)

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.

On windows I have made several successful installations by performing these steps:

* Download and install Strawberry Perl (which actually includes a c-compiler and a fortran compiler)
* Optionally download and install Pythonxy
* Download the McStas zip archive (32 or 64 bit version for windows)
* Install the "core" mcstas .exe
* Install the "components" .exe
* Install the "tools" .exe <- Currently requires an internet connection!
* Optionally install the Python-tool exes.

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.

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.

If this fails, could you please send me a screen shot where I can see the exact error you receive?

Best,

Peter
