Hi Patrik,<div><br></div><div>It looks like the installer does not install the vcredist x64 2010 version and fails to detect it correctly. After I downloaded the vcredist x64 2010 and installed it the erlan win64 installation worked. I see the bin directory! Plus the app that uses erlang is working with the erlang win64 installed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Let me know if there is further testing I can provide. I have the log files that I will continue to send to you.</div><div><br></div><div>-Mark</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>Hi!<br>
<br>
Actually Win 2012 should already have the libraries installed, I
wonder what's wrong...<br>
<br>
Could you try installing the vcredist manually (download from
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632</a>) and
see if anything gets better? <br>
<br>
The bin directory not being populated indicates that Install.exe
in the top erlang installation dir could not be run. Could you
also try to run that from a command line and see if it says
something interesting (like "i cannot find the dll's, i'm a very
sad windows exe" or something...). It gets run by the installer at
the end to copy some files, it may be silent if it fails to
start...<br>
<br>
When installing, you get a log window (that you can see if
clicking the "Show details" button when files are expanded). If
you run the x64 installation, with documentation unchecked, klick
show details, wait until the installation is done, then rightclick
the log and select "Copy details to clipboard", you can then paste
the log in a mail and send it to me (<a href="mailto:pan@erlang.org" target="_blank">pan@erlang.org</a>). If we're
lucky, it might contain a hint about why Install.exe is not run or
what happens to the x64 vcredist installer.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a freshly created Windows 2012 x64 server with GUI.
The first application to install was erlang. It appears the
win64 installer fails to install all of the files required for
erlang OTP R15B02. The win32 installer works.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am using
the otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix.exe installer
and the 32bit version. Below is more details about what
happened.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Ran otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix.exe as
administrator. It found the C runtime library was not installed
but it didn't prompt or run the installer for the c runtime
library. The installer continued without error. The path
"c:\program files\erl5.9.2 exists but the sub folder "bin" did
not exist. It appears the win64 installer didn't install all
files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Uninstalled win64. No errors given during uninstallation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Ran otp_win32_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix.exe as
administrator. It found the c runtime library was not
installed. It prompted and installed the runtime and the rest
of the installer went without error. The win32 version worked.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thinking the c runtime library installation was the issue...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4. Uninstalled win32. No errors given during uninstallation</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5. Ran otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix.exe as
administrator. The installer detected the C runtime library was
already installed and had it unchecked in the installer. The
installer then ran and gave no errors. The path "c:\program
files\erl5.9.2 didn't contain the "bin" folder. The win64 was
incomplete.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since then I have reinstalled the win32.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So far the issues with the installation of the win64 is
repeatable. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to
further help identify if this is a real issue.</div>
