Take 32 bit compiling, since a horrible imprecision bug has been reported for 64 bit building. [https://gna.org/bugs/?20821 See bug #20821].
→Download preparation: Link fixes.

'''take the win32 bit versions.'''
== Install python and necessary packages ==
I recommend to install a python distribution which is packed with several packages already.
=== Winpython ===
You could consider winpython, which includes Ipython, numpy, scipy. matplotlib etc.:<br>
[https://code.google.com/p/winpython Homepage]
For a command window, use the '''WinPython Command Prompt''' found in '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-2.7.x''', which fixes path issues for finding python.
==== Trick to set variables in cmd ====
Make a folder '''own''' in '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-2.7.x\scripts''' and <br>
copy '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-2.7.x\scripts\env.bat''' to '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-2.7.x\scripts\own\pyt32.bat'''<br>
call %~dp0env.bat
</source>
to include '''..\'''
<source lang="python">
call %~dp0pyt32.bat
</source>
==== Trick to add .bat files to PATH ====
If you have permission to change the Environment Variables in windows, you can add the '''pyt32.bat''' and '''cmdpyt32.bat''' to your path.<br>
Right click Computer -> properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> User variables -> Edit: PATH <br>
</source>
== Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop ==
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hs24szh9.aspx See versions of VS 2012 here].<br>
For 32 bit compiling, you will only need, '''Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop'''.<br>
Skip all extra packages install. After install, just exit any program, which opened after install.
== Install Subversion checkout of relax =={{historical svn}}
Install a subversion client. For example: http://tortoisesvn.net/
Right click in winpython folder: '''C:\WinPython27''', and select '''SVN Checkout'''. Write the path:
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/trunk svn://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/branches/relax_disprelax_trunk
== Build relax ==
Open the '''WinPython Command Prompt''' <br>
Navigate to the SVN checked out relax folder.<br>
cd C:\WinPython27\relax_disprelax_trunk_32
scons
Or navigate to C:\WinPython27\relax_disprelax_trunk_32, hold "Shift" and right click, "Open command window here". Write:
pyt32
scons
=== Modify pyt32.bat ===
Modify '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-xxx\scripts\own\pyt32.bat''', and add to end of file
<source lang="powershell">
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\WinPython27\relax_disprelax_trunk_32
</source>
Test installation, by clicking '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-xxx\scripts\cmdown\cmdpyt32.bat''', and write
<source lang="powershell">
relax
</source>
==== Tip - shortcut to cmdcmdpyt32.bat ====Make shortcut to '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-xxx\scripts\own\pyt32cmdpyt32.bat''', and modify the shortcut. Set
'''Start in:''' %PWD%
You can now copy this shortcut around, which open a command prompt at the current folder, and set the paths correctly.
== Install other software ===== xmgrace - for the plotting results of NMR-relax ===relax produces xmgrace "'.agr" files for plotting. There exist two ports for xmgrace to windows [http://qtgrace.sourceforge.net/projects/qtgrace/ QtGrace] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gracegtk/ GraceGTK]. <br> Download [http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtgrace/ QtGracefiles/ qtgrace_windows_binary], and unpack to '''C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary'''. <br>
Then copy '''C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary\bin\qtgrace.exe''' to '''C:\WinPython27\qtgrace_windows_binary\bin\xmgrace.exe'''
</source>
Test installation, by clicking '''C:\WinPython27\WinPython-32bit-xxx\scripts\own\pyt32cmdpyt32.bat''', and write
<source lang="powershell">
xmgrace
which should start xmgrace.
