[edit] Download and install

wxWidgets is available for download in multiple flavors for the Windows platform. You only need one of these downloads:

  • Installer - The wxMSW setup executable that will install wxWidgets for you.
  • Archive - Multiple archive formats (e.g. zip) containing everything needed in the wxMSW packages. If you downloaded one of the archive formats, installing it is as easy as unpacking it and moving the root folder where ever you want it to be installed.
  • wxAll - The wxAll packages include the source for all supported platforms.

[edit] Set the WXWIN environment variable

If you used the installer, in addition to installing the wxWidgets source files, it also automatically adds a WXWIN environment variable on your system pointing to the location where you installed wxWidgets. If you didn't use the installer, it is highly recommended that you do so by hand. You will need to setup WXWIN to the full location where you installed wxWidgets to (e.g. C:\wx\wx288). To do so see Adding an Environment Variable under Windows.
