[rkward-users] Installation on Windows

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi,

the windows version of RKWard is still very young, and we have not gathered 
too much experience, so far. Therefore, sorry if the following is mostly a bit 
of guesswork, and no definite answer:

I did not yet get around to try with KDE 4.3.0. If all else fails, you could 
try using KDE 4.2.3, instead, which is at least known to work (you may need to 
select the primary server "winkde.org" in the mirror-list).

The "-mingw" suffix is no longer shown in the latest version of the KDE 
installer, but as long as you chose MinGW-compiler initially, this should not 
be an issue. Just install "kdelibs" and "kdebase".

After KDE-installation, the missing library libktexteditor.dll should be 
located in [KDEDIRS]\bin\ . You may need to add [KDEDIRS]\bin and 
[KDEDIRS]\lib to your PATH, as described. (This is probably the first thing you 
should try, if you haven't done that, yet).

Looking at the screenshots at 
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/php_installer.php (which is a generic guide 
for PHP-installation, NOT the sequence to follow to install RKWard), the title 
of the page is "Choose Items to Install" (step number 7). If your PHP 
installer looks completely different, please post some details on which 
installer you are using.

Regards
Thomas
