Download it here: http://www.etree.org/cgi-bin/counter...are/md5sum.exe
Put it in your windows/system32 or /windows/command folder. (In XP it's C:/Windows/system32)
Now open up a command console by typing "cmd" into the run menu. (You can go to Start-->Run).
Before you start running the commands, make sure that the prompt says
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\username>
Enter this command
Note: In Windows/MSDOS, you always type with the backslash (\) not the forwardslash (/). Example in M$: \blah\blah Example in Unix/Linux: /blah/blah
Now you are in the directory with the cd iso and md5sum.
Enter this command
Code:
md5sum -c filename.md5
(Replace "filename" with the name of the md5sum)
Make sure that when you download the CD iso to download the md5sum and place it in the same directory.
I hope that this will help people who want to check the md5sum in Windows.

Microsoft FCIV program to check MD5 sums
The FCIV utility runs on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
fciv.exe c:\ -r
FCIV -md5 -sha1 path\filename.ext
FCIV -md5 -sha1 c:\windows\system32\shdocvw.dll
For further information please check out the Availability and description of the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility Article 841290 at the Support.Microsoft.com site.
PLEASE NOTE:-
This is TOTALLY free and if you look at the bottem you will see that they offer the SOURCE as well as a Binary - So I guess that makes it "open source" ?
Go here:- http://winmd5sum.solidblue.biz
NB:
(1)
When you check say a 700 Mb file it "will" take a little while for it to generate the alpha-numeric number. After all it is quite a big file, so what would you expect, the short time it takes to generate the alpha-numeric number also happens when doing it in Linux from the command line. So do not think that Winmd5sum has looked up your computer, just wait for it to happen.
(2)
If you open with Wordpad the small XXXXXXX.md5 txt type file that has the alpha-numeric number in it, you can then copy and paste that number into the "lower section" of the Winmd5sum and then just click "Compare". It will tell you if the number you first generated from your (say) 700 Mb file is exactly the same as in the XXXXXXX.md5 txt type file (easy)
This is so simple to use, I would recommend it over and above all other Windows md5sum checkers, for those that just want an easy and simple thing to use. Forget all the others, this is Free, very small to d/l, self-installing, does the job real well.
Neither WinMD5Sum, AccuHash 2.0 nor Nero's Verifier support all modes.
Hence I use a GNU build from the GNU Win32 project
Thanks for the webpage tip. Will come in handy when needed.
But I need text mode checksums for checking text files (e.g. source code) from different systems that have different line endings (Win = CRLF, Linux = LF, Mac = CR).
Cut'n'pasting several hundred files into that homepage would not be very convenient
