Get Visual Studio

To install Visual Studio follow this steps:

• go to this URL: https://www.visualstudio.com/free-developer-offers/;
• click download under Visual Studio Community;
• follow the instructions to install;

Compile the Server

To compile the server open the Solution File (the file that ends with .sln) using Visual Studio and press Build, after that if you get any errors try to resolve them, if you can't get another source.

Get XAMPP and Setup Database

The source needs the Database Server but it doesn't include it, so you need to download it on it's own. You can use any MySQL Server, but we recommend using XAMPP because it is the most compatible. To install XAMPP folow this steps:

• go to this URL: https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html;
• click download under XAMPP for Windows;
• follow the instructions to install;

After that make sure that Apache and MySQL are both running, then open your browser and go localhost , if you don't get any errors while connecting go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and import the .sql file that you can find in your source.

Start the Server

If you have your files compiled, and you have your database setup, you only need to start the server. To do that follow this steps:

• in XAMPP stop Apache;
• make sure thatMySQL is running;
• open the folders bin\Debug located in your source;
• run both server.exeand wServer.exe as Administrator;
• locate the .swf client somewhere in your source;
• open it using a flash projector or your web browser;
• check if server.exe and wServer.exe are both running and receiving requests;
• if you get port 80 is occupied error in server.exe, stop any running web servers or if you have Skype disable the port 80 usage in Skype;
• restart server.exe

If you cannot get the server to work, use another source.
