Hi,

When I download the Free Pascal I get a file called i386-win32-ppc386.zip which contains 1 file called ppc386.exe which does not contain the Setup system for the Free Pascal IDE that I was expecting.

I have gone right through the Web Site and , although there is a lot of words, there is nothing about installing this thing, where is Setup.

This whole project is very diss appointing so far, can you help me. As the idea sounds very interesting.

Kind regards,

John van der Linden

I think you were on the wrong page. You probably want this, which includes the Lazarus IDE:

Please excuse the shortness of this mail which was sent from my mobile phone. If necessary, I will send more information later.

Welcome to Free Pascal, John.

There are various ways to get started, some don't even require an installation:

Yes, either this, or at least the installer from the Downloads page on http://www.freepascal.org.
