Restart the server.
Step 2 Must be required Pre-requisite software.(VC++, MKS Tootkit or CYGWIN and GNUMAKE Utility)

Install Microsoft VC++ ( Bellow i am describing how to install VC++)

Steps for VC++ Installation

1. Download VC++ from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download

2. While installing VC++ make sure it is done in C:\VC98.

3. If you installed MS Visual Studio C++6.0 then make sure you installed service pack 6.

4. At the time of installation we must choose to ‘Register Environment Variable’ option in installation vizard.

5. If we forget option ‘Register Enviroment Variable’ at the time of installation. We can do this manually.

6. Go to Control Panel> Systems Advance Tab Page / Environment Variables Button and edit the Environment Variable as follows: - In systems variables find a ‘variable name’ Path, add your VC (For Example: C:\VC98\VC) directories to it, then save and exit.

7. Without Environment Variables being registered it will not be possible to run executables from the command line.

8. Copy LINK.exe from C:\VC98 to C:\WINDOWS\System32

9. Restart The system

Step for Installing CYGWIN (Here we use CYGWIN)

1.Download CYGWIN setup.exe form http://cygwin.com to your machine.

5. After installation completed Open folder C:\cygwin\bin and rename followings

gawk.exe to awk.exe
grep.exe to egrep.exe
make.exe to gnumake.exe
gcc.exe to cc.exe
Note: You can override the name if system says that awk or egrep or cc already exits just remove or move to some other place.

6. Set the Path to include the C:\cygwin\bin

Step for Installing GNUMAKE utility

1. Before downloading GNUMAKE, Please download and install tool/utility (.exe file) for unpacking files from http://www.7-zip.org

2. Download GNUMAKE Utility from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/
3. Download make-3.77.tar.gz or a later version in C:\GNU

4. Make-3.77.tar.gz Extract here by using 7-zip utility.

5. The files will be unpacked and extension gz will be removed.

6. Now Extract here the tar file (make-3.77.tar)

7. This will create a new sub directory MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNU\

8. Run build_w32.bat file from Visual Studio Command Prompt (Example- C:\GNU\make-3.77\build_w32.bat )

9. If the build is successful check for a directory name WINREL. It should have a file GNUKAME.EXE

10. Rapidwiz checks for this file at installation time.

11. You might have to run bat file twice for build to be successful.

12. Now test for VC environment with this command c:\make\make-3.79>vcvars32. this will give a message “petting environment for using Microsoft Visual C++ tools.
