Installing on Windows 2000
in Help Center
Can ICE be installed on a Windows 2000 machine without
VC++?
Looked on download page, but all references to Windows
installation include VC++.

Do you mean Ice for Java? Ice for C++ won't be useful w/o VC++...0

Marc,
Thanks for the reply. Basically, we just want
to install ICE binaries (Java & C++) on Windows 2000,
but we do not have VC++ as a build environment.
How do we do this without VC++?? Are people somehow
required to have/use VC++ in order to install ICE on
Windows platforms?
I saw on the download page references to Unix binaries
and then other references to Windows 2000 installation
that seemed to require VC++.
Thanks again,

Hi Brian,
Visual C++ is required if you want to build your C++ applications on Windows 2000/XP, but it's not required if you simply want to run the Ice binaries or Ice for Java applications.
Let us know if you encounter any problems.
Take care,

Thanks Mark,
From looking at the ".msi" suffix of the download file,
I thought this might be a file that had to be opened by
Visual Studio, but obviously it was not.
I downloaded the file, installed it, and things seem
to be working fine now.
Thanks again,
Brian0
