Warrick - Installing and Running on Windows About Warrick | Home
The following instructions will show you who to install and run Warrick on a Windows XP machine. I will assume you have downloaded and unzipped Warrick onto drive C: in a folder called Warrick (C:\Warrick).

  1. Install ActivePerl which is free if you download it from their website. It installs just like most Windows programs.

  2. Next you will install SOAP-Lite using ActiveState's Perl Package Manager.

    1. To run the Perl Package Manager, click Start -> All Programs -> ActiveState ActivePerl -> Perl Package Manager.

    2. The Perl Package Manager window will open. Select View -> All Packages from the menu.

    3. Scroll down to SOAP-Lite. Right-click on SOAP-Lite and select Install SOAP-Lite from the popup menu. See the figure below that illustrates this.

    4. After the package has been installed, you can exit the Perl Package Manager.

  3. Now open a command prompt available from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

  4. In the black window that appears, enter: 
    cd c:\Warrick\warrick
    This will take you to the Warrick directory.

  5. Now enter: 
    perl warrick.pl -r -wr ia -c http://www.yourwebsite.com/
    in the black window where "www.yourwebsite.com" is the website you want to reconstruct. You'll see Warrick output information as it reconstructs the website. Let it go until you see it complete and return to the prompt where you can type information.

  6. You should see a directory called www.yourwebsite.com in the Warrick directory (C:\Warrick\warrick\www.yourwebsite.com) that contains all the files you have recovered.
