 Additional tips are available at [[http://gpg4win.de/handbuecher/novices.h=

   * Validate the MD5 and SHA digests using [[http://md5deep.sourceforge.ne=

tup unpacker]]
+  * Run the installer directly, into a separate directory, or use the [[ht=
tp://innounp.sourceforge.net/|Inno setup unpacker]]. There is no requiremen=
t to uninstall your existing CouchDB.
   * Confirm using antivirus software there are no viruses or malware prese=
nt. Microsoft provides the free [[http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/window=
s/products/security-essentials|Security Essentials]].
+  * Start CouchDB via the provided {{{couchdb.bat}}} script.
+  * Use Futon to run the basic [[http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/verify_insta=
ll.html|user verification]] tests. There is no need to run the full [[http:=
//127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/couch_tests.html?script/couch_tests.js|dev test sui=
te]], as these are being removed in coming releases anyway, for a more robu=
st command-line test suite during build time.
-  * If required, rerun the installer into a separate directory and start C=
ouchDB via the provided {{{couchdb.bat}}} script.
-  * Run Firefox >=3D4, launch Private Browsing mode, and disable caching i=
n {{{about:config}}} by setting both {{{browser.cache.disk.enable =3D false=
}}} and {{{network.http.use-cache =3D false}}} temporarily:

84/_utils/couch_tests.html?script/couch_tests.js|dev test suite]].
-  * Some tests may fail occasionally depending on the speed of your PC and=
 the phases of the moon. It's fine to re-try a few times, or to test over L=
AN connection rather than localhost.

   * FIX LATER: Double-check `README`, `INSTALL.Windows`, `NEWS`, `LICENSE`=
, and `CHANGES` files are present in {{{%COUCHDIR%/share/doc/couchdb/}}} an=
d contents is appropriate. At present these are gzipped but this should be =
fixed, and added as shortcuts.
