Re: [Gramps-users] error running gramps 3.4.2-1 on windows 7 64

[David L M. <dlm...@gm...>]

For what it's worth, I did a clean install on a new Win 7 Home 64 bit system
and restored my data from my XP Pro 32 bit system with no issues. While I'm
not using the new system yet, I have opened it and done some queries just to
test it out. If you need me to compare any settings or files, let me know.

James,

"406: ERROR: gramps.py: line 105: Unhandled exception" tells about
unexpected exceptions.

>From here it's difficult to understood what kind of exception forces the
issue. So only some ideas to go ahead (I run this installation without
trouble on Win7 64bit Professional):
Do you have any special anti-virus software or special security rights for
the normal user active?
Just try to run Gramps using administrator rights via context menu.
Just try a complete new installation:


May be its a good idea not to install Gramps into "C:\Program Files". Define
any other directory e.g. "c:\Gramps" to prevent special security actions for
the default program directory.
May be it's because the default Gramps home directory: Define your own
GRAMPSHOME - use too your own directory (SET GRAMPSHOME=D:\XXX).



Again, it's the try to find someting in the dark. So may be you already did
something like my suggestions.

I checked my computer for all of the dlls in the gramps folder and
subfolders and they are not present anywhere else on my hard drive.
