Windows installer for aMule-2.0.0 released.
You can get it from http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0-installer.exe
The installer is for Windows XP/NT/2000. If there is need, I might create a version for Windows 9X too.
It contains:
- aMule-2.0.0
- wxCas
- alc (aLinkCreator)
- the ed2k utility, for sending ed2k:// links to aMule
It does not contain:
- amulegui (not working on Windows atm)
- amule daemon (untested)
- command-line tools (amulecmd, amuleweb, cas, alcc) (command-line for Windows?)
- amulecmdDLG and amulewebDLG (untested)
That's all for now, first aMule release on Windows. Feel free to report bugs, ask questions, etc.

Waou ! this should give us a large base of users...
Very nice ! :) :D

That would be much appreciated. Of course, when you have the time...
Great work!

Please could you provide for download an X11 based Windows download?
This would enable people to run it remotely and connect to the session, using vncserver or move the gui around different desktops without needing to restart it (using xmove) such that it integrates with their other windows (using multiwindow mode of an X server).
The only way to do this (that I know of) with the non-X11 version would be either to use the web interface (which isn't as functional), or to kick off the current console user (if using Windows XP Pro), or to be rich enough to afford Windows Server.
Thanks!

OK, I'm a bit ignorant about windows & X11 (in fact I have no real idea about it), but can't you just use the windows tightvnc server and then remotely connect to it?
-
Found some bugs:
1)When I copy ipfilter.dat in /.aMule folder, amule dont start. I tried emule and peerguardian ip-filter formats.
(http://img111.echo.cx/img111/1941/error5uo.png)
2) Server-list update dont work.
2005-05-07 12:05:28: Loading server.met file: C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\.aMule\server.met.download
2005-05-07 12:05:28: Error: the file server.met is corrupted
I add manually 30 servers and put into their list of constant servers to avoid this problem.
3) Speedmeter on tray icon not displayed.
4) Positions of many columns in GUI and statistic tree are not remembered after restart aMule.
5) When I sort sources on a file in a queue place (Priority column), A4AF sources displayed in top of the list. And should be displayed below.
In the rest all works normally and stably. Memory and CPU useage very low. Upload stable and good download speed.
Thanks for release :)
-
works and i haven't got problems copying *.dat/.met files from emule directory to aMule.
ps: is it normal that amule.exe is 12MB in size ?

Well, if you use the "native" tightvnc server, than you would only be connecting to the same desktop that the person sitting at the PC would be using. I want to be able to run amule on the PC without the person sitting at the PC seeing anything.
In this situation, the X11 based tightvnc server is needed, but to display amule onto the X11 based vnc server, amule needs to use X11 also. It should be fairly simple to recompile it to use X11 - just use the GTK2 based wxwidgets instead.
-
ps: is it normal that amule.exe is 12MB in size ?
Yes. The executable is statically linked against wxWidgets, that's why it's so large.
2) Server-list update dont work.
It is a known bug in the win32 version, will be looked after.
Thanks for the bug reports, I'll check them.
phoenix: Some time next week.

I seem to me has understood why does not work ip-filter.
Fragment of standard ip-filter:
000.000.000.000 - 003.255.255.255 , 000 , Bogon, Fake File servers AP2P
004.000.025.146 - 004.000.025.148 , 000 , s0-0.ciscoseattle.bbnplanet.net
004.000.026.014 - 004.000.029.024 , 000 , p1-0.cisco.bbnplanet.net
aMule does not crash at startup only if remove all unnecessary zero which I has allocated with red color.
0.0.0.0 - 3.255.255.255 , 0 , Bogon, Fake File servers AP2P
4.0.25.146 - 4.0.25.148 , 0 , s0-0.ciscoseattle.bbnplanet.net
4.0.26.14 - 4.0.29.24 , 0 , p1-0.cisco.bbnplanet.net

Couldn't it be dynamically linked instead?

Yes, maybe. In next release.

That´s a shame. I was waiting 2.0 release ONLY because of the gui interface for windows.
I´ll need to keep my linux server overloaded running graphical interface, vnc, etc :(
Maybe in the next "soon" release ;)

We hope to satisfy your needs in next release.

With a large file (4,3mb lenght) occur the same problem.
-
But i noticed, that if you replace a null-sized ipfilter.dat with a real one (from http://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/) when aMule is running the [Reload List] button works correctly. I also tried to truncate ipfilter.dat and it helped. aMule starts without errors when filter file contains 23 (it's a random "small" number) IP-addresses. I think that it's a "stupid" bug and hope that it would be fixed in nearest CVS. Good Luck!
-
I think that I fixed it. I changed two things in source code:
First, in IPFilter.cpp:CIPFilter::CIPFilter()
{
/*
LoadFromFile( theApp.ConfigDir + wxT("ipfilter.dat"), false );
if (thePrefs::IPFilterAutoLoad()) {
Update();
}
*/
}And second, in amule.cpp:bool CamuleApp::OnInit()
{
...
/* IPfilter fix */
ipfilter->Reload();
if (thePrefs::IPFilterAutoLoad()) {
ipfilter->Update();
}
/* IPfilter fix */
return true;
}

Very nice that amule is now available for Win! :baby:
Some Bugs/Problems/Questions came up:
- after i put some files into amule for uploading, amule was still hashing and change the language i tried to close amule, but get "no response" and i have to close it via task manager (test it 2times with same problem)
--> after hashing was completed closing without problems
- Preferences --> Directories --> Shared Directories
Unable to use "right click on folder icon for recursive share"
- Reduce Fragmentation
Options are not available
- Extract Meta Data Tags
also not available
- column sorting
for which criteria it is sorted automatically!?
- Upload Queue Size can be set up to only 500
Why?
- slots
i have 42 KB Upload limit and choose 30 KB for each slot (equal to "slotfocus"), aMule still open 3 Slots with the same amount for these 3 slots!?
*Edit*
everything hashed and tried to close it again after some succesfull trials, it hung up with high cpu usage and i have to close it again via task manager :(

Because 3 upload slots is the minimum with amule, no matter what you set the slot allocation to...

Just to keep me updated:
There is any CVS version with working amulegui for windows?
If dont, can u post here when its available on a CVS release?
Tks a lot!
-
Thanks for 2.0.1 release, but what about IPfilter? I think, that my solution is a bit incorrect an I'm waiting for a fix from developers.
-
PunkSC:
Amulegui is still not working with windows...
Makeutist:
The 2.0.1 was mainly about a fix for amule freezing when it receives some faulty package sent by a server and contains not many other new things...

Hi there,
i was glad to seesome already compiled amule versions for Windows. However i faced some problems. I transfered the needed config files from emule to amule directory. The first prob was the ip filter one wich i solved by deleting it like discibed above in the thread.
Two problems remained :
1. After restarting amule i wasn't able to connect to any server, it just couldn't connect .... ;( I reinstalled it several times without any luck.
Since i installed a previous version i can connrct again. I have to mention that on my first ry with the compiled version 2.0.2 a connect was succesfully done. After closing and reopening amule it failed.
2. Closing amule isn't really closing it. It is still active in the taskmanager.
I have to close it using the taskmanager. Maybe this is leading to my prob 1 ?
Thanks for the work of the amule team and the helpful w32 compiler :D

Just installed the latest aMule version for win32. Been looking forward to it and even more when it will have kad support. I am a long time eMule user that would just like to help out and try out the aMule win32 client. Will use it more extensively over the next days. First question is why are many of the important files (even temp and incoming files) stored at in a folder under documents & settings instead of a folder under the aMule install folder? I don't know if there are any program dependencies but eMule is known for being a program you can move around and splitting files up in different folders is a bad idea I think. :)
-
Hum... good point.
Hi Master.
-
First question is why are many of the important files (even temp and incoming files) stored at in a folder under documents & settings instead of a folder under the aMule install folder?
Because:[list=1]- There may be other users on the same computer and you may not want to share your downloads/config with them.
- This reflects the way it is on linux: personal configuration is in personal folders.[/list=1]
-
Another point is that it might make it harder to move amule around, but at the same time it makes upgrading to newer versions easier. No more thought about "which config files do I have to copy?!?".
-
still the ".aMule" folder name is against the MS Windows names principles. It should just be "aMule" (just try to create a ".aMule" folder with Explorer. You'll see you simply can't).
-
Were you on irc, you would have noticed the ongoing discussion. Wait, were you paying attention to SVN, you would have noticed it's already changed.
-

Read "Windows application design guidlines" in MSDN, you will find an answer.
-
kry:
I haven't seen any commit changing the ".aMule" naming in Windows. The most seemingly fix I've noticed is the renaming of the incoming dir to /aMule Downloads (or /Incoming in Win95 systems).
Please, correct me if I'm wrong and forward me to a commit number ;)
-
I checked out the 2.0 Installer (NullSoft Installer System) which is quite old and would like to request the .nsi sources to create an Installer
Thanks!
-
The installer is for Windows XP/NT/2000. If there is need, I might create a version for Windows 9X too.
Yes! There is necessity in Win9x too :-))) Sadly dicovered that new version still not supported that OS :-(( It would be nice to see Win9x-version and work with aMule in Win9x too... If you'll have time of course ;-))
Good luck!

me too! I seem to have some problems with the earlier version and anyway I'd like to keep my software up-to-date if possible. Too bad the installer (nor aMule) doesn't work with Win9x, since not all (like me) have a brand new and shiny Windows XP but still don't want to use aMule for a reason or two.

Hi there!!
Do we planning to make win-installer for v. 2.1.1? If yes may the world hoping for win9x-support? :baby: :D :]

Maybe. I don't know yet.
