Introduction.

This is Eclipse Library Installer 9.12.17 (3.0.0). The Eclipse Library Installer installs all the required dependencies in order to run Eclipse and variants, but also the Mirage Source Engine and variants. Without it, you can't use Eclipse.

Changes.

First of all, I'll not be putting a huge list on here. I'll describe all the parts that have been changed since the second generation. On top of that I'll also list potential issues for this release. However, you can expect future releases as this is an emergency release, sort of.

The version has changed to the date of when the application has been released, just because it is easier to manage for me. As for this version a lot of things have changed compared to the 2nd generation. First of all, the whole application has been rewritten from scratch purely in C using the C++ standard though. The old code was a bit messy and this might have fixed a lot of issues from the second generation. Another thing I surely want to mention is that I've moved from MinGW to Microsoft Visual C++. The latter compiler is a lot better on the Windows platform, while the first comes from the UNIX platform. I've used Microsoft Visual C++ for debugging, improved coding, etc. The old ELI used to be about 25MB, which is incredibly huge, especially if you compare it to ELI 9.12.17, which in fact is only 11MB. This is due the use of ZIP-compression.

Internally a lot of things also have changed. The old ELI used a self-made wizard instead of the actual Microsoft Wizard Control. The new version now uses the latter. Another thing is that this ELI now has multi-threading built in by default, that means that this application is now meant to be multi-threaded by default, resulting in the fact that the event loop is now no longer interrupted by the process of installing the files. What all this means is that the Eclipse Library Installer will now run smoothly compared to the early versions of the second generation. Another important feature has been implemented which is the prevention of running multiple instances of Eclipse Library Installer. You'll now only be able to run one instance at a time, which might prevent confusion.

Now the most important feature is probably there is now a Windows x86-64 build available. That means that the Eclipse Library Installer is not only available for 32-bit processors, but also for 64-bit processors (running Windows 64-bit, of course).

Future.

There are still some things left for me to do, but this depends mainly on some of the reports I'm expecting from you guys and girls. I'm for instance able to implement a check whether you're running the application as an administrator or not, however this is still unimplemented. Another thing I want to mention is that the registration of the files might fail. In that case, please reply to this topic and include a screenshot of the errors you get while running Eclipse, this might help me figure out problems and iron out the bugs. An issue might be that you still have to run Eclipse Library Installer as an administrator.

Support.

Currently Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode are supported. Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME might run ELI as well, but these are not officially supported. UNIX-users (including Linux, Solaris, AIX, QNX, IRIX, Mac OS X, etc.) might be able to run ELI through WINE, but this is not officially supported.

Downloads.

**Note**: cancelling ELI's installation might cause a DLL-file or an OCX-file to be corrupt, so I don't recommend to cancel (hence why the back buttons are all disabled).

> woot! now I can install files with up to 2^63 address points! Ill test it on x64 linux once you get it up.

It's up now. Not sure if the 64-bit version even works through WINE though, unless you're virtualising Windows x86-64.

Those COM errors are probably caused by DllRegisterServer() as the DLL and OCX files are sometimes written using COM. The good thing is that it works or quasi works.

> Wow, Trying to compete with the other guys one? Well i think this one is better because it solved my error. Thanks mate :D

That's great to hear. Well as for the competition, kind of. This thing was actually meant to be rewritten for a long time as ELI had a lot of bugs in the previous version.

@Marsh:

> Actually this solved my windows 7 64 bit error. Causing my system to actually run without additional work. Good job godlord will proberly make this the default again.

That's awesome. I'm glad to hear the x86-64 build works nicely.

It wasn't actually meant to be uploaded to MediaFire though, but I couldn't get it uploaded to Eclipse File Hosting.

Besides, did you guys have to use the "Run as Administrator" feature or something similar or were you able to just run it?

Thanks, and I actually lolled because no UAC popped up here when I tried it. Only the Windows XP-like dialog saying that it isn't an official application or something.

btw. why did you only mirror the x86 version?

Shouldn't be. Last time I checked one was x86-64 and the other one was x86.

**Addendum**: copy-paste failure so I'm re-uploading the 64-bit version.
