Windows Hellanzb Installer

(assumes you installed to 'c:\hellanzb')

Run the Setup program as an Administrator. It will automatically detect whether or not you have Python and/or Twisted installed and prompt you to download them.
I recommend you install to a harddrive with *lots* of space.
Be sure to enter your news server information when prompted.
After Installation, you have to download and install pywin32, the Python Windows Extensions. (~4MB)

Finally! Now find 'Start Hellanzb' on your start menu and click on it.
If you don't get an error message, download an .nzb and save it to 'c:\hellanzb'.
Click on the 'Hellanzb Status' shortcut and watch the download progress.
The completed file(s) can be found in 'c:\hellanzb\finished'.

If you're tired of looking at a black box on your screen when hellanzb is running, just change 'python.exe' to 'pythonw.exe' in the 'Start Hellanzb' shortcut.
Click on 'Edit hellanzb.conf' to change any settings.
Likewise, look at 'c:\hellanzb\system\etc\hellanzb.conf.example' for other setting examples.

If you're sick of looking at garbled characters in the console window, this will help you.

This web page is ugly.
The installer should download the windows extensions automatically and give the user the option to download MSYS and SSL libraries. Next version?

The installer is known to work on Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
Please don't give me any credit for writing hellanzb. I wrote the installer for it. Nothing more. Congratulate the big brains by following the hellanzb link below.
