Windows Installers
Windows Installer for Visual Studio .NET 2003
Everything needed to use Ice in all of the supported language mappings (C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic, Python, PHP) on Windows 2000/XP. This installer includes executables, debug and release DLLs, header files, import libraries, PDBs, Java classes, sample programs, and third-party dependencies.
Visual Studio .NET 2003 is only required for C++, C#, and Visual Basic developers.
Use this installer if you want to build Ice for C++ from sources. It includes header files and DLLs for Ice's third-party dependencies:
- Berkeley DB 4.2.52
- OpenSSL 0.9.7e
- Libbzip2 1.0.2
- Expat 1.95.8
Ice for Java users who do not want to install the full Ice distribution may also find this installer useful, as it includes the Java classes for Berkeley DB.
Windows Installer for Visual C++ 6.0
Everything needed to use Ice for C++ on Windows 2000/XP with Visual C++ 6.0. This installer includes executables, debug and release DLLs, header files, import libraries, PDBs, sample programs, and third-party dependencies.
Use this installer if you want to build Ice for C++ from sources. It includes header files and debug/release DLLs for Ice's third-party dependencies:
- Berkeley DB 4.2.52
- OpenSSL 0.9.7e
- Libbzip2 1.0.2
- Expat 1.95.8
- STLport 4.6

Sample Programs for Binary Archives
The Ice sample programs for binary archives. These sample programs are already included in the source code distributions, the Windows installers, and the development kit RPMs.
Source Distributions
Ice for C++
Ice-2.1.2.tar.gz
Ice-2.1.2.zip
The complete Ice for C++ source code.
Ice for Java
IceJ-2.1.2.tar.gz
IceJ-2.1.2.zip
The complete Ice for Java source code and class/jar files.
Note that, to build Ice for Java, you must first compile Ice for C++ or, alternatively, download and install an appropriate binary distribution. This is necessary because the Slice-to-Java compiler is written in C++.
Ice for C#
IceCS-2.1.2.tar.gz
IceCS-2.1.2.zip
The complete Ice for C# source code. (Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Mono 1.0)
Note that, to build Ice for C#, you must first compile Ice for C++ or, alternatively, download and install an appropriate binary distribution. This is necessary because the Slice-to-C# compiler is written in C++.
Ice for Visual Basic
IceVB-2.1.2.tar.gz
IceVB-2.1.2.zip
The Ice for Visual Basic sample programs. (Visual Studio .NET 2003)
Note that, to build the sample programs, you must first compile Ice for C# and C++ or, alternatively, download and install an appropriate binary distribution. This is necessary because the Slice-to-VB compiler is written in C++, and the Visual Basic mapping requires the Ice for C# run time.
Ice for PHP
IcePHP-2.1.2.tar.gz
IcePHP-2.1.2.zip
The complete Ice for PHP source code. Requires Ice for C++ and PHP 5.0.3.
Ice for Python
IcePy-2.1.2.tar.gz
IcePy-2.1.2.zip
The complete Ice for Python source code. (Python 2.3 or 2.4 on Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and MacOS X)
Note that, to build and use Ice for Python, you must first compile Ice for C++ or, alternatively, download and install an appropriate binary distribution. This is necessary because the Python mapping requires the Ice for C++ run time.
Source Code for Third-Party Software
Third-Party Source Code
ThirdParty-Sources-2.1.2.tar.gz
ThirdParty-Sources-2.1.2.zip
The source code for the third-party software that Ice depends on. (The GPL requires that we make these available. You do not need to download this archive unless you want to build these third-party packages from source code yourself.)
