How to install Apache Bench on Windows 7? [closed]

Question

I want to install Apache Bench on Windows, can someone tell me which MSI to get?

I did install some MSI but it seems to have installed apache http server.

I just need to run Apache Bench, as I am testing an IIS asp.net application.

Answer 1

It sounds like you don't want to install Apache, but you do want Apache Bench. May I recommend XAMPP? Download the zip or 7zip versions (much larger download than regular Apache but you won't have to install). Unzip the download.

This is where what I would recommend, and where you currently are converge. Since you already have Apache installed you should already have Apache Bench.

You will find it under

.\apache\bin\ab.exe 

in the zip file, if that is what you downloaded, it will be under

.\xampp\apache\bin\ab.exe 

Answer 2

You can download the Apache server zip files (a lot smaller in size compared to AMPP packages) from the following site

Apache Haus Downloads

and unzip it. Find the bin folder; you will find ab.exe there.
