Windows Installers
Windows Installer for Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Visual Studio 2010, and CodeGear C++Builder 2010
Everything needed to develop Ice applications on Windows in all supported programming languages. This installer includes executables, debug and release DLLs, header files, import libraries, PDBs, Java classes, sample programs, third-party dependencies, and the Ice Visual Studio Add-In.
Security Notice: The IceSSL for .NET assembly included in this installer contains a critical security vulnerability. You should replace it with the patched assembly available in our security advisory.
| Requirements | |
|---|---|
| C++ | Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Express, Visual Studio 2010, Visual C++ 2010 Express, or CodeGear C++Builder 2010 |
| .NET | Visual Studio 2008 SP1 or Visual Studio 2010 |
| Java | Java5 or Java6 |
| Python | Python 2.6.4 |
| Ruby | Ruby 1.8.6 |
| PHP | PHP 5.3.1 |
Note: The Ice extensions for Ruby and PHP included in this installer are compiled with Visual C++ 6.0 (VC6) for compatibility with the binary distributions available from ruby-lang.org and php.net. Although this installer also includes the VC6 DLLs for Ice and the third-party dependencies required by the Ruby and PHP extensions, general application development with VC6 is not supported.
IceVisualStudioAddin-3.4.1.2.msi
This installer contains an update for the Ice Visual Studio Add-In. The update corrects several issues that were found in the add-in since the Ice 3.4.1 release. Note that Ice 3.4.1 must already be installed on your system in order to use this update. Refer to the Visual Studio Add-In page for more information on this update.
Use this installer if you want to build Ice from sources. It includes header files, executables, debug/release DLLs, and JAR files for Ice's third-party dependencies:
- Berkeley DB 4.8.30
- OpenSSL 0.9.8n
- Libbzip2 1.0.5
- Expat 2.0.1

Sample Programs
The Ice sample programs for use with RPM and binary archive installations. These sample programs are already included in the source code distributions and the Windows installer.
Source Distributions
Ice-3.4.1.tar.gz
Ice-3.4.1.zip
The complete Ice source code for all language mappings. If you are interested in building Ice for a language other than C++, you must first compile Ice for C++ or, alternatively, download and install an appropriate binary distribution. This is necessary because the Slice compilers and scripting language extensions are written in C++.
For compatibility information, please refer to our list of supported platforms.
Binary RPMs are also available for our supported Linux platforms.
IceVisualStudioAddin-3.4.1.2.zip
Source code for the Ice Visual Studio Add-In update. The update corrects several issues that were found in the add-in since the Ice 3.4.1 release. Refer to the Visual Studio Add-In page for more information on this update.
Source RPM
A source RPM that allows you to build the binary RPMs for Ice. For build instructions, please refer to Ice-3.4.1-RPM_README.
Third-Party Source Code
ThirdParty-Sources-3.4.1.tar.gz
and
qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.3.tar.gz
(Linux/Mac/Solaris)
ThirdParty-Sources-3.4.1.zip
and
qt-win-opensource-src-4.5.3.zip
(Windows)
The source code for the third-party software that Ice depends on, including patches and build instructions. (You do not need to download this archive unless you want to build these third-party packages from source code yourself.)
