Build from source (optional)

download Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7

(you must use this compiler version for C runtime compatibility. SHA-256 is 070474db76a2e625513a5835df4595df9324d820f9cc97eab2a596dcbc2f5cbf)

make a destination directory, such as C:\path\scite-with-python

save VCForPython27.msi to C:\path\scite-with-python

open an Administrator cmd prompt. One way to open this is to press Windows-X, go to the little menu that appears in the bottom right of the screen, and choose "Open Cmd Prompt (Admin)".

run cd C:\path\scite-with-python

run msiexec /i VCForPython27.msi ALLUSERS=1

then, open any cmd prompt that can run git,

run cd C:\path\scite-with-python

git clone https://github.com/moltenform/scite-with-python.git

then, open any cmd prompt, and run

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\vcvarsall.bat"

if there is no such file, try this instead

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\vcvarsall.bat"

then unzip src/scite/scite/python/libs.zip into src/scite/scite/python/libs

(there should now be a file src/scite/scite/python/libs/python27.lib)

unzip src/scite/scite/bin/pythonbinaries.zip into src/scite/scite/bin

(there should now be a file src/scite/scite/bin/python27.dll)

unzip src/scite/scite/bin/tools_internal/wincommondialog/wincommondialog.zip into src/scite/scite/bin/tools_internal/wincommondialog

(there should now be a file src/scite/scite/bin/tools_internal/wincommondialog/wincommondialog.exe)

then run these commands,

cd "C:\path\scite-with-python\scite-with-python\src\scite\scintilla\win32"

nmake -f scintilla.mak

cd "C:\path\scite-with-python\scite-with-python\src\scite\scite\win32"

nmake -f scite.mak

a few plugins require Python 2.7 to be installed on your computer, but they aren't necessary in most situations.

to get those plugins running, you can install Python 2.7, use the Windows x86 MSI installer.
- then, press Ctrl+; to open SciTEGlobal.properties
- at the bottom of this file where it says customcommand.externalpython= make sure this is the correct path to python 2.7 pythonw.exe
- save changes

everything is now compiled, you can run

"C:\path\scite-with-python\scite-with-python\src\scite\scite\bin\SciTE.exe"

to start SciTE.
