    Hello! I've just installed GeigerLog on my Windows 11 PC and configured it as stated in the manual. I've installed Python, pip, etc. After running GeigerLog.bat, I get this:

    GeigerLog Startup -------------------- in RUNTIME mode ---------------------------
    startup: Command Line: ['geigerlog.py']
    startup: System Python: Python 3.13.14
    startup: Virtual Environment: venv found: __venv2.1pre01
    startup: Virtual Environment: venv uses: Python 3.13.14
    startup: Completed: Handing control to GeigerLog Runtime in Virtual Environment: '__venv2.1pre01'

    GeigerLog Installation Problem:
    EXCEPTION when importing Python modules: 'No module named 'PyQt6.sip'' in file: gsup_utils.py in line: 213

    No access to one or more Python modules required by GeigerLog. Cannot continue, will exit!
    
    GeigerLog needs to be setup before it can run. Try starting GeigerLog with this command:
    
          on Linux, Mac, Raspi: ./GeigerLog.sh setup
          on Windows:           GeigerLog.bat setup
    
    More details can be found in chapter 'Appendix I - Installation' of the GeigerLog manual.
    

    sys.exit: initial code
    GeigerLog has finished

    [End of output]

    The setup process seemed to be OK, as you can see in the attached screen snapshot.

    I did run it as administrator. Please note that I launched GeigerLog.bat setup under a PowerShell terminal (the default in Windows 11), but I also re-run it under cmd.exe, with same results.

    Windows information:

    I searched PyQt6 files, with this result:

    C:>dir PyQt6* /s

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Forget about it.
    I had installed Python 3.13.14 but, for some reason, I also installed Python 3.14, and that caused a mess.
    I cleaned all the stuff, re-installed 3.13.14 and now GeigerLog is happily set up and running.
    My apologies and thanks for reading this!

    Good to hear that GeigerLog is running well!
    A reminder: the latest version of GeigerLog - as a pre-release - can always be found here:
