[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "Installing_on_Windows" by FilipeManana

Dear Wiki user,

The "Installing_on_Windows" page has been changed by FilipeManana.
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Windows?action=diff&rev1=22&rev2=23

--------------------------------------------------

  
  = Warning =
  
+ CouchDB 1.0.x crashes on Windows when a database or index file reaches 4Gb in Erlang/OTP versions previous to R14B01. This is due to a Erlang/OTP Windows bug related with appending to files with a size equal to 4Gb or larger. Erlang/OTP release R14B01 no longer has this bug.
- CouchDB 1.0.1 crashes on Windows when a database or index file reaches 4Gb. This is due to a bug in Erlang OTP. A fix (patch) for this issue was already submitted to the Erlang OTP team:
- 
- http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/Fix-appending-to-large-files-4GB-on-Windows-td2829384.html
- 
- To avoid waiting for the next Erlang OTP release that contains this fix, you can grab a non official build from: http://github.com/juranki/couchdb/downloads.
- These builds are maintained by Juhani Ränkimies, the author of that Erlang OTP patch.
-
