Issues building bitcoin on Windows 7

[Gavin Andresen]

Gavin, do you have / can you make public the image for the dodgy 0.3.20 VC10 build? I'd like to have a look and compare it to my home build to see if I can reproduce that rendering artifact problem. Thanks.

Yes, I have the VC10 VM.  I am hesitant to make it publicly available because it has a copy of Visual C++ 2010 Express installed, and I don't want Microsoft to sue me for redistributing their software without permission.

I'll uninstall it from the VM and then make the image public; you'll have to download and install (and agree to the license) Visual Studio Express yourself to get it working.

Sure, that wouldn't be a problem for me. Good idea.

Here's the public AMI for the dodgy 0.3.20 VC10 build:
  ami-d621d2bf    982440761210/BitcoinVC10

Bitcoin source is at c:\bitcoin
(all the other dependencies are in the root c:\, too).
Administrator password is:  bitcoin development

Can I somehow use it on my local computer? Can someone download it?

Here's the public AMI for the dodgy 0.3.20 VC10 build:
  ami-78cf3c11     982440761210/BitcoinVC10

Great, thanks. I launched an instance and tried logging on as Administrator with the password you gave on this thread, but no dice. Did you set this up with a different password? Or set it up to use auto-generated passwords?

[Gavin Andresen]

Oops, sorry-- I forgot to change the admin password.  The correct pw for that instance is:
  penguinsrule

I change the password to match the MinGW VM and updated the AMI:
  ami-d621d2bf    982440761210/BitcoinVC10
Admin password:  bitcoin development

You should change the password as soon as you login or make sure you use a security group that only allows your IP address to access the virtual machine.

Does that AMI still exist, and is it compatible with the 4.0 source?

[AlexWaters]

It does still exist, but I am not able to connect to it when I make an instance - I get the "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:"

My port is forwarded for 3389, and my remote settings allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop.

Are you sure the AMI builds have been updated for the latest 0.4 bitcoin release?
