If you don't have a commercial version of Visual Studio, you can use the free one [[http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2008-Visual-CS Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express]]. 

Here you can find the service pack for VS2003 and VS2008:

GIMIAS source code can be downloaded from:
* SVN repository: {{SVN_GIMIAS_Stable}}/GIMIAS_1_4_2

* d:/scratch/thomas/projects/current/gimias: It's too long (42 chars)
* C:\My Code\src\GIMIAS: Has white spaces

{{note| title = SVN repository and zip file |
We recommend you to use the SVN approach because it has several advantages, like easily switch to a new GIMIAS version, sending patches about changes. Next section describes how to check out GIMIAS from the SVN repository. }}

* In the “Repository” step, select “Quick checkout (less configuration)”
** Specify the URL: {{SVN_GIMIAS_Stable}}/GIMIAS_1_4_2.

{{note| title = SmartSVN configuration |
We recommend you to disable automatic refresh on windows activation because it takes a lot of hard disk resources. To disable this option you need to go to the menu Edit->Preferences->Actions->Refresh.

{{note| title = Proxy configuration |
If you receive an error when trying to check out the code from the SVN URL, but you can access it from your Internet browser, it's possible that you need to configure the proxy of your Internet access. To configure the proxy, you need to go to the menu Repository->Manage profiles. Under the Proxies page, you can add the proxy configuration of your local network. After this, you need to configure the proxy on the Profile page of GIMIAS URL.

{{note| title = Server Timeout |
If you receive a time out error when connecting to the SVN server, we advise you to decrese the timeout parameter. The default value is 1 hour but you can set it to 60 seconds. You need to edit the file smartsvn.properties and add the line:

<pre>smartsvn.http.timeout=60</pre>

To find this file you need to check this web page:
