Which command line svn?-- 93.223.170.90 14:32, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
So I downloaded TortoiseSVN and downloaded the AWB source. Having problems compiling the source using SharpDeveloper because I'm having problems installing Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4. (Maybe because I don't have Visual Studio installed?)
So I thought I'd try the Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition instead, but I think the link is outdated. Could someone please check on the link? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 00:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks to Meno25 and Bgwhite for helping me navigate through my issues. Here are the steps I needed to go through to be successful in Windows 7:
9. Compiled code and ignored errors.
10. Went to ...\AWB\AWB\bin\debug
and copied AutoWikiBrowser.exe, WikiFunctions.dll and Interop.mshtml.dll from the folder to where I run AWB from.
Hope this will help others - thanks again!

Hi -- I am having trouble downloading the AutowikiBrowser source code. I am using http://svn.code.sf.net/p/autowikibrowser/code/AWB/ as the URL.
I get an "Unable to connect to a repository at URL" error.
Also I am having a problem registering WikiFunctions.dll -- Any help would be appreciated Sonofxavier ( talk) 16:43, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
@ GoingBatty: it was a poxy setting. I didn't set the network poxy in TortoiseSVN -- thanks for that. I have the code know. However I am having problems with registering the WikiFunctions.dll on my Vista machine. Thanks for you attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonofxavier ( talk • contribs) 16:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Got sources with my SVN client fine. Won't compile. Tried lots of things. Every effort failed one way or another. Firefox 43, Win7 completely updated x64 system, .NET 4.5.1.
SharpDrop 5 and 3 both failed for different reasons to compile the code.
I followed the instructions and downloaded the latest SharpDp 5.1RC, and got
Task failed because "resgen.exe" was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed. The task is looking for "resgen.exe" in the "bin" subdirectory beneath the location specified in the InstallationFolder value of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\WinSDK-NetFx35Tools-x86. You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following: 1) Install the Microsoft Windows SDK. 2) Install Visual Studio 2010. 3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct location. 4) Pass the correct location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the task. (MSB3091)
Both "Sharp" 3 and 5 gave occasional errors "Can't read Microsoft Solution file format 13.00."
So I saw something that sounded like that .NET 4 might need the MS SDK, so I installed that because there was a link to it. The part about "may need to modify the AWB code" had no link, so I had to ignore it as "noise". I've tried running sharpie as root and chmod 777. Nothing helps. Best hope I have for sharpness is its earlier errors.
Tried installing the other, not-so-sharpDevelop, used the links to install Express C# and MS SDK, but got "pkg missing" errors, which failed to download from internet or retry local. After gigs of downloads and tons of files missing and errors, decided to go with the version of AWB that simply is like all other Wikipedia Gadgets, javaScript. Want to uninstall all the microsoft development software. After I canceled skipping all the "missing pkgs", got msg 4 of 151 components installed. I really was not paying much attention to all the SW installation, because I only wanted AWB.
I just wanted to get one batch run of 10,000 files edited, half with one error, half with another. Tried the no-install, javacript-only method by User:Joeytje50/AWB and was making the fixes within minutes. I probably won't be developing AWB or Microsoft applications any time soon, so the MediaWiki API and extension for AWB? It just needs something that can compile, and these instructions are either out of date, or out of touch. — Cpiral Cpiral 07:58, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
Today's my first day with a new hard drive. I have AWB working again on my Windows 10 machine, and I'm now trying to get the latest AWB SVN. I downloaded the latest version of TortoiseSVN and did the SVN check out, and then installed SharpDevelop 4.4.2. I can open AutoWikiBrowser.sln just fine, but when I try to open AutoWikiBrowser no plugins.sln I get an error stating: "Can't read Microsoft Solution file format 13.00." Any ideas?

Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Sources is almost identical with Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Technical. Maybe is necessary to merge these pages, including their talk pages that also are very similar. -- XXN, 12:16, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
When I go to https://github.com/icsharpcode it appears that SharpDevelop is archived. Is there still an executable available, or do you no longer recommend this software, or something else? Thanks! GoingBatty ( talk) 04:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
