Couch DB 0.9.1 installer for windows

This is a couch installer based on the 0.8.1 installer by Bruno Lopes which is linked off of couchdb wiki install page

To be completely fair I basically edited his NSIS installer, popped the 0.9.1 source into it and packaged the whole thing and it still worked

Bruno happily included code to detect your erlang directory

• The custom spidermonkey binary
• The couch erl driver
• ICU binaries
• Bat files to compile and run couchdb
• A config.ini file with the data files pointing to %erlang dir%\usr\couch_data
  
• A Default.ini file with the same

Prerequisites

install these first, it really helps. I have also mirrored the exact versions I used.

• Erlang - local mirror
• Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables (for openssl binary) - local mirror
• OpenSSL - local mirror

Download

This is un supported unwarrantied software,

• Installer
• source NSIS - so you can push it along like I did

Tested on

• Windows server 2008 standard with sp2
• Windows XP Pro SP3
• Bruno tested 0.8.1 on Vista 32, I have no reason to believe it wouldnt work

Errors

• Unit tests dont all run,
  this appears to be due to leaving files open either due to crashes or otherwise, as every other error is access related
• Bad match errors or erlang_open port errors - both of these should mention javascript, it has to do with having an incorrecly configured path to your couch_js.exe file
  Using a path from the executing directory is a good idea, so jouch_js.exe ../lib/couch/shar/server/main.js in default.ini should work. Note that you will need to make sure that the server is restarted to get that to work, and that the conuch.ini and default.ini agree.
