Installation notes for EXPGUI

Please note that EXPGUI is always under development and gets less testing by the author in Windows than in UNIX. Please report problems, including comments on these instructions to Brian Toby.

A single-step program to install GSAS and EXPGUI for Windows

You can download a single file that installs GSAS (General Structure Analysis System) and EXPGUI, as well as the Tcl/Tk package, needed by EXPGUI. This self-installing file uncompresses itself, copies the required files to a selected directory and either modifies the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and/or creates the appropriate registry entries needed to run the programs. A separate web page details how to use this self-installer, ( ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/gsas+expgui.exe or from CCP14 mirrors). Here are the steps in brief:

  1. Download ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/gsas/gsas+expgui.exe

  2. Run the gsas+expgui.exe file

  3. Page through the installation screens & select install options

  4. Wait while the files are installed and then continue, allowing the computer to be rebooted

  5. Delete the gsas+expgui.exe file (optional)

For more details on the sequence of operations and the installation options refer to the detailed Windows self-installer instructions web page.
