Download the Generic-Genome-Browser/bin/windows_install.pl script. The script works currently on Windows when Apache and ActiveState Perl 5.8 are already installed using the default locations. Execute the command in the DOS command shell:

 >perl windows_install.pl

And answer questions that are presented (the defaults will be acceptable most of the time). Note that it requires the LWP Perl package be installed, but it comes by default with ActiveState Perl 5.8. Also note that this script may work for Linux and MacOS as long as it is run as root (e.g. with sudo). Please see the GBrowse install doc for more information on what this script is doing.

Notes

You will see warnings like this:

WARNING:  Missing NMAKE.err; displaying error numbers without messages.

You can safely ignore these messages.

You will also see a warning message like this:

Can't return to C:/DOCUME~1/scott/LOCALS~1/Temp/eWlcGUYhvu/Generic-Genome-Browse
r-1.66 from C:\DOCUME~1\scott\LOCALS~1\Temp\eWlcGUYhvu (No such file or directory) at C:/Perl/lib/File/Temp.pm line 914
END failed--call queue aborted.

These are annoying and I can't figure out what is causing them, but installation appears to be successful even when they are displayed.
