how to install torcs in windows.i hav torcs which was given in digit june 2006 issue.how can i install this game in windows xp

Is it a binary installer or source?

i dont know this but i see a tar archive

That's source then. And I don't know if the source works for both windows and linux. Check the readme files.
If it works on windows, too. Then you will need to compile the source using some compiler like Visual C++ or Dev C++.
Check torcs.sourceforge.net everything is there.

For Windows From "all-in-one" Source Package

1. Requires VC++ 6.0 (tested with sp6).
2. Download the source package torcs-1.3.0.tar.bz2.
3. Unpack the package with "tar xfvj torcs-1.3.0.tar.bz2" or any application you like, be careful to select a path without whitespaces and other special characters.
4. Hint: You can build a release and a debug version side by side, the required step for the debug version is showed in brackets "()".
5. Open a command prompt and cd into the torcs-1.3.0 directory.
6. Run setup_win32.bat (setup_win32_debug.bat).
7. Run setup_win32-data-from-CVS.bat (setup_win32-data-from-CVS_debug.bat).
8. Open the file TORCS.dsw with vc++ 6.0.
9. Select the TORCS project and the win32-Release (win32-Debug) version.
10. Compile the project (0 warnings).
11. cd into the "runtime" ("runtimed") directory.
12. Run "wtorcs.exe".

i dont hav vc++ .how can i compile using bloodshed devc++.

bump......

why don't you simply download the windows binary and run the exe files?

i pay 2 Rs per MB of data transfer.its insane for me.

^^^ thats tooooooo costly, buddy!

i'm sorry i don't use dev c++. so someone who uses it may help you out.

just imagine if i download vista using this internet connection.bill will be in excess of 9k
