[Tilesathome] T at H - install on Windows XP

[Stuart]

Hi,

I'm running through the process on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Windows@home

I've download  setuptah-0_1.exe and it appears to run succesfully.

At the final stage there is a picture (possibly in Italian) showing a GUI presumable as a hint to change the language to your own.
On closing the browser window showing this picture the install GUI highlights the Close button. 

I then run the app from the Start menu but all I see is a quick flicker on the screen (probably Perl trying to start in a DOS box).

After a bit of messing around I started Perl from a DOS box as below 


perl "C:\Program Files\TilesAtHome\tah.pl"

This runs a GUI showing things like "Proxy Settings" - "Authentication Settings" and buttons to "update tah" and "start tah"



Not sure if this is the real GUI or a setup window - I plan to run T at H locally to create specific tiles via a modified osmarender process.

So what settings if any do I need in this window. I've tried using it but to no result (no idea what values to use) and when I close it there are many error messages on the DOS/Perl window including many complaining about the space in C:\Program Files....



Finally, looking at tah.pl the line



$ENV{PATH} = "$dirperl\\bin;$dirinkscape;$dirsvn\\bin;$dirpngcrush;$dirzip;$ENV{PATH}";



suggests that my System Properties Environment Variables may be updated or perhaps $ENV{PATH} is a local variable.

Is this an issue?

My guess is a problem with Perl. If I run the perl.exe directly all I see is a blank DOS type window - is there a command to test the Perl?





Cheers



Stuart
