#5 Windows version of Dowser 0.26 does not start

[Anonymous]

Windows 2000:
The startup just opens the DOS windows, some text
flashes in it, and that DOS windows closses.

If dowser.exe is invoked from the shell, this is the
error message generated:

D:\Program_Files\Dowser>dowser.exe
\ Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

Version 0.24 did not have such a problem.
