Use the self-installing .exe file. +B. Unpack .zip files and run the install.exe program. + + +A. Using the self-installing .exe +--------------------------------- + +This is mostly self-explaining. Just follow the prompts and make the +selections. A few things to watch out for: + +- When an existing installation is detected, you are offered to first remove + this. The uninstall program is then started while the install program waits + for it to complete. Sometimes the windows overlap each other, which can be + confusing. Be sure the complete the uninstalling before continuing the + installation. Watch the taskbar for uninstall windows. + +- When selecting a directory to install Vim, use the same place where other + versions are located. This makes it easier to find your _vimrc file. For + example "C:\Program Files\vim" or "D:\vim". A name ending in "vim" is + preferred. + +- After selecting the directory where to install Vim, clicking on "Next" will + start the installation. + + +B. Using .zip files +------------------- + +These are the normal steps to install Vim from the .zip archives: + +1. Go to the directory where you want to put the Vim files. Examples: + cd C:\ + cd D:\editors + If you already have a "vim" directory, go to the directory in which it is + located. Check the $VIM setting to see where it points to: + set VIM + For example, if you have + C:\vim\vim91 + do + cd C:\ + Binary and runtime Vim archives are normally unpacked in the same location, + on top of each other. + +2. Unpack the zip archives. This will create a new directory "vim\vim91", + in which all the distributed Vim files are placed. Since the directory + name includes the version number, it is unlikely that you overwrite + existing files. + Examples: + pkunzip -d gvim91.zip + unzip vim91w32.zip + + You need to unpack the runtime archive and at least one of the binary + archives. When using more than one binary version, be careful not to + overwrite one version with the other, the names of the executables + "vim.exe" and "gvim.exe" are the same. + + After you unpacked the files, you can still move the whole directory tree + to another location. That is where they will stay, the install program + won't move or copy the runtime files. + +3. Change to the new directory: + cd vim\vim91 + Run the "install.exe" program. It will ask you a number of questions about + how you would like to have your Vim setup. Among these are: + - You can tell it to write a "_vimrc" file with your preferences in the + parent directory. + - It can also install an "Edit with Vim" entry in the Windows Explorer + popup menu. + - You can have it create batch files, so that you can run Vim from the + console or in a shell. You can select one of the directories in your + $PATH. If you skip this, you can add Vim to the search path manually: + The simplest is to add a line to your autoexec.bat. Examples: + set path=%path%;C:\vim\vim91 + set path=%path%;D:\editors\vim\vim91 + - Create entries for Vim on the desktop and in the Start menu. + +That's it! + + +Remarks: + +- If Vim can't find the runtime files, ":help" won't work and the GUI version + won't show a menubar. Then you need to set the $VIM environment variable to + point to the top directory of your Vim files. Example: + set VIM=C:\editors\vim + Vim version 9.1 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime + files in $VIM/vim91. See ":help $VIM" for more information. + +- To avoid confusion between distributed files of different versions and your + own modified vim scripts, it is recommended to use this directory layout: + ("C:\vim" is used here as the root, replace it with the path you use) + Your own files: + C:\vim\_vimrc Your personal vimrc. + C:\vim\_viminfo Dynamic info for 'viminfo'. + C:\vim\vimfiles\ftplugin\*.vim Filetype plugins + C:\vim\... Other files you made. + Distributed files: + C:\vim\vim91\vim.exe The Vim version 9.1 executable. + C:\vim\vim91\doc\*.txt The version 9.1 documentation files. + C:\vim\vim91\bugreport.vim A Vim version 9.1 script. + C:\vim\vim91\... Other version 9.1 distributed files. + In this case the $VIM environment variable would be set like this: + set VIM=C:\vim + Then $VIMRUNTIME will automatically be set to "$VIM\vim91". Don't add + "vim91" to $VIM, that won't work. + +- You can put your Vim executable anywhere else. If the executable is not + with the other Vim files, you should set $VIM. The simplest is to add a line + to your autoexec.bat. Examples: + set VIM=c:\vim + set VIM=d:\editors\vim + +- If you have told the "install.exe" program to add the "Edit with Vim" menu + entry, you can remove it by running the "uninstall.exe". See + ":help win32-popup-menu". + +- In Windows 95/98/NT you can create a shortcut to Vim. This works for all + DOS and Win32 console versions. For the console version this gives you the + opportunity to set defaults for the Console where Vim runs in. + + 1. On the desktop, click right to get a menu. Select New/Shortcut. + 2. In the dialog, enter Command line: "C:\command.com". Click "Next". + 3. Enter any name. Click "Finish". + The new shortcut will appear on the desktop. + 4. With the mouse pointer on the new shortcut, click right to get a menu. + Select Properties. + 5. In the Program tab, change the "Cmdline" to add "/c" and the name of the + Vim executable. Examples: + C:\command.com /c C:\vim\vim91\vim.exe + C:\command.com /c D:\editors\vim\vim91\vim.exe + 6. Select the font, window size, etc. that you like. If this isn't + possible, select "Advanced" in the Program tab, and deselect "MS-DOS + mode". + 7.
