Trying to get his up and running on my XP box. I
installed Python 2.3 and added C:\Python23
\pythonw.exe to my environment PATH but still am
having problems.

After installing PySolitaire and trying to run I get:

Unable to execute file
pythonw.exe

CreateProcess failed; code 2
The system cannot find the file specified.

Any suggestions? Could be me being a dumbass as per
usual. BTW, I added pythonw.exe to the system
environment PATH not the user environment PATH, but I
didn't think that would make a difference.

    I am also having problems. I installed activepython.
    Rebooted, installed pysolitaire. still had error.

    Uninstalled pysolitaire, changed path in environments
    reinstalled and still the same problem can't find pythonw.exe.

    Im stumped now

    The executable should not be in the path. For example, your
    path should look like this:

    path=C:\Python23;c:\windows;....

    I think you put pythonw.exe in the path, that is incorrect.

    try dropping pythonw.exe in your pysolitaire directory-it
    worked for me.

    I've gotten the same error message. It's not compiling the
    code to create pythonw.exe I've searched my whole system,
    the file does not exist.
