Problem Installing GSView Windows 7
David Fanning
I'm making a brave attempt to upgrade a Windows XP box
to Windows 7. (And thinking a LOT more about a Mac, I
can tell you!)
My problem at the moment is that I have downloaded
a 64-bit version of GSView (gsv49w64.exe) and I have
downloaded various versions of Ghostscript (gs870w32.exe)
and ghostscript-8.64.tar.bz2), and I have put them in
various likely places. But no matter where I put them,
GSView can't find them.
I suppose I could try downloading the 32-bit version of
GSView, but then I *could* have re-installed Windows XP, too.
Any ideas of where the Ghostscript files should go so that
GSView will recognize them?
Cheers,
David

Hi David,
if I'm understanding you correctly, you did not *install* Ghostscript
yet. The gs870w32.exe file is an installer. I think it also writes a
registry entry that allows GSview to find Ghostscript.

Also environment variables, font installation, bunch of stuff.
Note that gs870w32.exe is the installer for a 32-bit version of
Ghostscript, while ghostscript-8.64.tar.bz2 is (a bzipped tarball of)
the souerce code for version 8.64 of Ghostscript, not a 64-bit verson of
Ghostscript 8.70.
You should download (and run ;-) gs870w64.exe for a 64-bit version of
Ghostscript for Windows. Its available here:
