#40 PySolFC 2.10.1 (Windows installer) not starting due to missing dependencies
After installing PySolFC 2.10/2.10.1 by the Windows Installer the game does not start.
Since pysol.exe emits no error messages, I've downloaded the source code and found that FIVE dependencies are missing in library.zip code base. They are:
six
pysol_cards
configobj
attr
attrs
Manually installing them with pip obviously solves the problem.
Hope you'll fix this! Best regards!
Thanks for reporting this issue! I admit that the developers have recently moved some functionality to PyPI modules, and that the PySolFC windows installer was not tested. I may be able to try running a Windows VM (see https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ ) now that I have a computer with 32 GB of RAM. Anyway, this was an acknowledgement.
Many thanks to you for the answer. In fact, take it as an advice... Reviewing the library.zip I noticed those modules seem zipped inside, but pysol.exe does not start.
To let it run I have: deleted library.zip and some DLLs and .pyd, unpacked the source code in the folder, pip-ped the mentioned modules in my Python 3.9 32-bit installation... et voilà!
32 GB...? I play successfully Windows 10 under Virtual Box with 8 GB only, however.
Hi! PySol FC recently switched to a different windows installer generator so if possible please test the new installers from the AppVeyor asset downloads at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shlomif/pysolfc/history (before we mint a new release).
Regarding the 8 GB vs. 32 GB - I have ran a windows 10 VM under vbox with 8 GB, but it is possible that vbox is still broken on that computer and I often need to use a lightweight window manager such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWM and kill redisd and other background processes. 32 GB may be more comfortable (haven't tried yet there).
Ok, AppVeyor 2.10.0 installer works, Thank you.
