Down loading problem from Microsoft

Hi!

I am VERY NEW to OpenGL. I need some help to get started. I followed the instructions on the OpenGL website and started to configure my PC. However, I got problems when I tried to download OpenGL from the Microsoft’s FTP site. The link :

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe

is not working. Is there any other alternative site that I can download the OpenGL.exe for Windows-XP?

All the help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

I thank you very much. My first problem is resolved. However, I have problems with locating the following files for my set-up :

Opengl32.lib
glut32.lib
glu32.lib

gl.h
glu.h

I am supposed to have 9 set-up files. I have found only four (all lib files and one header file : glut.h). I downloaded GLUT but it does not have these files. Any suggestions?

Thank you again.

Dont do that!

If you have hw accelerated OpenGL you need only good driver and C/C++ compiler with OpenGL headers and libs.

If you install that sw package from MS site you’ll OpenGL will run in software mode.

I finally got installation in place. Every thing seems OK (at the time being!). As yoyoo recommended, I will not be installing opengl95.exe.

Thank you very much!
