Curl RTE Installation Notes

Curl Runtime Environment (RTE)
Curl Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
which includes the Curl Runtime Environment

Windows®

Before you Install

Make sure that your computer conforms to the following requirements before installing or upgrading the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE:

Check the System Requirements for the RTE or IDE.
Disable any anti-virus software and client firewall software on your computer. You can enable your anti-virus/client firewall software after installation.
We have confirmed that if SS1 (System Support best1) is installed, an error occurs when running the CELF installer. If an error occurs, add the following folder to the exclusion settings of the SS1 management client and then install again. C:\Program Files (x86)\Curl Corporation For details on how to set this up, please contact the SS1 support desk.
If your operating system is Windows® , you must have administrator privileges, or could run with elevated permissions.

Installing and Upgrading the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE

Download and run either the RTE or IDE installer. If you have another version, the newer version will be installed along with any previous version on your computer. If you are upgrading the Curl IDE, make sure to download and install the newer version of the Curl IDE, not the Curl Runtime Environment. The Curl Runtime Environment installer will not upgrade the Curl IDE.

Known Problems

Installation on Vista without VB Script registered will fail with error code 2738

On Vista, if vbscript.dll is not registered, you will get an error running the msi installer. The installer will stop as it is 'Preparing the installation'; the error code will be 2738. The solution to this problem is to register vbscript.dll. To register this dll, at a command prompt, run:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\REGSVR32.EXE VBSCRIPT.DLL

You will see a dialog indicating that the registration was successful.

Installer thinks the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE is already installed after aborted install.

If you start installing the Curl Runtime Environment and click Cancel to abort the installation before it is complete, subsequent installation attempts may find that the Curl Runtime Environment is already installed even though it is not. You may ignore this message and continue reinstalling the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE.

Inconsistent localization settings on Vista can cause our Japanese installer to fail when the locale is English.

If your operating system is Windows® Vista and you have your locale set to English but 'format' set to Japanese, the Japanese Curl installer will give a Transcoding Exception.

To fix this problem, set both your locale and format to Japanese to use the Japanese installer or both to English to use the English installer.

Uninstalling the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE

If you find a reason to uninstall the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Curl IDE > Change/Remove.

If you wish to reinstall the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE, make sure to reboot your computer before doing so. Windows® users must have administrator privileges or could elevate to administrator to uninstall the Curl Runtime Environment or the Curl IDE.
