 TexGen is hosted on sourceforge and the latest version can be [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=181000 downloaded here]. As of version 3.2.0 you have a choice between two version: ''texgen-3.x.x.exe'' and ''texgen-bundle-3.x.x.exe''. TexGen requires the Python interpreter to be installed in order to run. The standard installation package named ''texgen-3.x.x.exe'' does not include Python and must be installed manually. The bundle installation package comes with the Python interpreter which means that it does not need to be installed manually.
 If you don't know what Python is or you won't be using it for anything other than TexGen then the bundle package is recommended. For experienced users, the standard installation package is preferable since it will integrate itself with an existing python installation giving existing Python scripts access to TexGen.

-Run ''texgen-3.x.x.exe'' and follow the on screen instructions. During the installation you will be asked to specify where Python has been installed. The installer should detect this automatically if all goes well, if not you must specify the directory manually. This is necessary because TexGen will install an extension module in the Python directory. This is so that Python scripts can be executed from anywhere on the system. Since the TexGen graphical user interface also relies on the Python interface to function, it will not work unless this step is completed correctly.
