Installing under Windows

Under Windows, you install Quintus Prolog by running InstallQuintus3.5.exe. It will prompt for an installation location (by default C:\Program Files\Quintus Prolog 3.5) and finally give you the option to enter the license information. If you need to re-enter the license information at a later time you can run qplm.exe, as described in Running the License Manager.

There is currently no uninstaller for Windows. If, for some reason, you would like to uninstall Quintus Prolog you can simply remove the installation folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Quintus Prolog 3.5.

When using Quintus Prolog from a command prompt you may wish to modify certain environment variables so that Quintus Prolog components are found. This can be done by running the qpvars.bat script located in the Quintus Prolog binaries folder, by default C:\Program Files\Quintus Prolog 3.5\bin\ix86. Alternatively you can look at the script to figure out what environment variables it changes and then perform the same changes using the Windows XP System control panel.

In addition you may wish to add a shortcut to the qpwin.exe to the Start menu or desktop. Note that, under Windows, source linked debugging is only available when running Quintus Prolog with Emacs.
