Installing SQLite 3.6 On Windows 7

How do I install SQLite 3.6 on Windows 7?

I extracted sqlite3.exe, sqlite3.dll, and sqlite3.def to C:\Windows\System32 but when I try to run a Ruby program that requires the use of sqlite3, I get this error:

The program can't start because sqlite3.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

How can I tell if SQLite is installed on Windows?

Check for SQLite The first thing to do is to check whether SQLite is installed on your system or not. You can do this simply by entering sqlite3 into your system's command line interface (assuming version 3+ is installed).

Do I need to download SQLite?

SQLite does not need to be "installed" before it is used. There is no "setup" procedure. There is no server process that needs to be started, stopped, or configured. There is no need for an administrator to create a new database instance or assign access permissions to users.

Where is SQLite installed?

You can download the SQLiteStudio installer or its portable version by visiting the download page. Then, you can extract (or install) the download file to a folder e.g., C:\sqlite\gui\ and launch it.

I would try adding the path to SQLite in PATH.

Supplemental: SQLite 3 is not "installed". It's a DLL, usually unregistered. Most software using SQLite 3 will rely on a local copy or one referenced in an environment variable.
