Dear nmusers,
I have successfully installed NONMEM VI 1.0 (and 1.1) on a Dell Latitute
D820 using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium.
It was quite easy. The install was identical to an install using
Windows XP. I used the same compiler: GNU g77 from
ftp://ftp.globomaxnm.com/Public/nonmem/g77
(I copied only g77exe.zip, g77lib.zip and g77doc.zip.
Vista is capable of unzipping and extracting the files.)
I used the command described in readme_6.1.0.doc:
cdsetup6 d c nmvi g77 y link
A nice surprise is that the MS-DOS command line version of nmhelp now
works again. (The problem with XP was that nmhelp uses binaries for
Unix commands, grep.exe and gawk.exe, and these binaries fail with XP.
They work with Vista.) Thus, you have available both the (new) html
files (Hyper-NMhelp) and the (old) help files using nmhelp.
Getting used to Vista is another story. I am not going to give
advice on that!
However, there was just a discussion on nmusers about accessing the
password protected ftp site. Here is something that works on Vista.
There may be an easier way.
Start Windows Internet Explorer
.Go to ftp://ftp.globmaxnm.com
Click on Page (on the right of the toolbar) > "Open FTP SIte in
Windows Explorer"
Click "Allow" on the pop-up window .
When the new untitled screen appears, it may not show the FILE menu
If not, press the ALT key.
Click on FILE > "Login As" (same as with Bill Bachman's instructions).
You can also use the syntax suggested by Tim Bergsma,
ftp://nonmemvi:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, I cannot make this work in Windows Internet Explorer,
only in the untitled screen that opens from the Page>Open Site ...
as described above.
