Title: How to Install FET on windows 7 Professional?
Post by: mahmoud moosa on February 02, 2014, 08:04:49 PM

Hello everybody,

First of all, big thanks for all the contributors, volunteers, developers who have created this excellent project.

There is a private school that need this kind of software.
I printed the document about the features of the software they would like to use it.

My name is Mahmoud, i will be the one who will install in the school.

When i opened the Read ME file inside the FET folder, i couldn't understand the steps exactly.

What i did only , i installed the QT Creator after that i am stuck.

Please any easy steps on how to install it on Windows 7 Computers?

How do i do the compilation?

What specific changes should i do?

Please i need help as quickly as possible.

Thank you very much for answer and support.

Kind Regards,

Mahmoud

Looks like you downloaded the source files.
You don't need to compile fet yourself if you are a windows user.
Just download the precompiled windows executable version for windows. Execute that file. It will decompress a fet folder with an fet.exe that only need to be started.

Hello and thank you for your quick answer.

Please if i am wrong correct for me, here what i did:

1. I downloaded the EXE file highlighted in yellow color as shown in Capture 1 screen shot.
2. I Extracted the file using 7-Zip
3. I double clicked the fet highlighted in yellow color as shown in Capture 2 screen shot and it is opened.

my question is please:

is that all? if so, do i have every time to open it from this location?

if not, please in light me.

Thank you very much.

Mahmoud

Yes, that is all. You can make a shortcut to this executable and place it on the Desktop, if you want.
