• TortoiseSVN Version Control Software download(32bit Installer, 17.8 MB)

You can download Microsoft applications from the Seneca College ACS download page.

Click on the MSDNAA License on the left panel of the download page in order to acquire license keys.

• Cygwin - Linux-like environment for Windows
• Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2_11 for Windows - It will be installed on "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11" as default. Do not change the location!
• Apache Ant 1.6.5 binary - Open the .zip file and copy the "apache-ant-1.6.5-bin" folder to "C:\"
