Windows 7, Icecast 2.4.1 Installer downloaded from http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/icecast/icecast_win32_2.4.1.exe Referring to http://en.flossmanuals.net/icecast/windows/ The installation process goes as described, but doesn't offer the "Create a desktop icon" option. Nor am I offered the option to "Install Icecast as a Windows service" as shown. I can't "start Icecast by clicking on the handy icon" because of no icon. Because of that, I can't start the final window as shown on the document. (Start server, etc.) I tried installing Icecast twice, same results. -- that Jack Elliott 541 848 7021 Producer Wednesday Point, Host, The Sunday Classics KPOV 88.9, High Desert Radio Audio geek
<Rant>Most if not all of the developers don't use the operating system 90% of the population use and don't really care. It works on Linux.</Rant> I too would like to see a proper GUI with proper installers. It would get a lot more users that way. -----Original Message----- From: icecast-bounces at xiph.org [mailto:icecast-bounces at xiph.org] On Behalf Of Jack Elliott 541 848 7021 Sent: Friday, 15 May 2015 3:43 a.m. To: icecast at xiph.org Subject: [Icecast] Icecast install under Windows Windows 7, Icecast 2.4.1 Installer downloaded from http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/icecast/icecast_win32_2.4.1.exe Referring to http://en.flossmanuals.net/icecast/windows/ The installation process goes as described, but doesn't offer the "Create a desktop icon" option.

Oh dear. Okay, can anyone suggest how to install Icecast under Windows as a service, and to be able to bring up some kind of console to start/stop it? I can launch Icecast using the installed .bat file, but it's clunky. -- that Jack Elliott 541 848 7021 Producer Wednesday Point, Host, The Sunday Classics KPOV 88.9, High Desert Radio Audio geek On 05/14/2015 09:21 AM, Ross Levis wrote:> <Rant>Most if not all of the developers don't use the operating system 90% > of the population use and don't really care.
