[Squirrel-sql-users] Solution for the Windows 7 64bit installation issue

[Thomas B. <tho...@ne...>]

Hi,

here is a solution for people who have installation issues on Windows 7 
64bit systems. The problem is that installation fails when the installer 
tries to create the shell links.

The reason is that the 64bit dll is missing in the jar file. I used the 
link provided by http://www.squirrelsql.org/

To fix this go to: http://izpack.org/downloads/

And download the installer version IzPack 4.3.4

- Open the "IzPack-install-4.3.4.jar" with e.g. 7zip
- Extract the file "ShellLink_x64.dll" from the folder called "native"
- Open the "squirrel-sql-3.2.1-install.jar" with e.g. 7zip
- Add the file "ShellLink_x64.dll" into the  folder called "native"
- Now you can install the SquireL SQL client with "java -jar 
squirrel-sql-3.2.1-install.jar" from the shell (run cmd as admin).

Maybe someone can fix the download builds?
