+Section IX: How to build HDF5 on windows Vista
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Building on Windows Vista is very similar to building on Windows XP, with
+some minor changes. Therefore, follow the build instructions above, with the
+following considerations:
-Section X: Misc.
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1) drivers we support
-
- The default driver on windows we support is sec2 driver. However,
- stdio driver is also supported. If you want to use stdio driver
- in your application, you may set environment variable HDF5_DRIVER
- to "stdio".
-
- On windows 2000/XP, the following steps should be followed to set
- the environment variable,
-
- a) Go to Control panel and find "system",
- b) Click "system" and choose "advanced",
- c) Choose Environment Variables
- d) Add new variable "HDF5_DRIVER"
- e) set the "HDF5_DRIVER" to "stdio"
+ 1. Only Visual Studio 2005 is currently supported on Windows Vista. This
+ is because Microsoft has ended their support for 6.0 and .NET.
+
+ 2. Building Fortran libraries has not been tested, and is therefore also
+ unsupported. You may attempt to build Fortran libraries following the
+ instructions above, but they should be considered experimental and used
+ for testing only.
+
+ 3. Elevated security permissions are required to test the HDF5 libraries.
+ This is because DLLs are installed in the system directory. To enable
+ elevated security:
+
+ 1. In the Start menu, search for "Command Prompt". Right click on
+ the "Command Prompt" program, and select "Run as administrator."
+
+ 2. A security dialog will pop up. Make sure you select "Continue."
+
+ 3. Test HDF5 libraries and tools as usual using "hdf5check.bat"
+ script.
+
- Reminder:
- If you don't want to use stdio driver, please remember to
- delete the environment variable "HDF5_DRIVER" or change the
- variable value to "sec2".
