LAML Installation on Windows

It is easy to install LAML on Windows 2000 and Windows XP provided that you adhere to a few conventions:

  1. You use one of the latest versions of PLT as your Scheme system (version 205) and install it in C:\programs\

  2. You install LAML in C:\programs\

Thus you will need the following organization:

C:
 programs
  ...
  PLT
   ...
   MzScheme.exe
   ...
  laml
    bin
    lib
    ...

Notice the use of the programs directory instead of Program Files. In general, the latters causes problems for Unix related software (such as Emacs).

It can also be recommended to install GNU Emacs in C:/Programs, but it is not necessary; Emacs can be installed in a directory of your choice.

If you adhere to the conventions from above, you can install LAML by executing

in the downloaded LAML distribution, or just by activating (opening) the link

from your browser (Internet Explorer, presumably).
