[Pythoncard-users] problems installing Pythoncard 0.8.1 under WinMe

[Brian v. d. B. <bv...@po...>]

Hi all,

new to the list and (trying to be) new to Pythoncard.

I've downloaded PythonCard-0.8.1.win32.exe, trying to install Pcard on 
my WinMe system with Python 2.4 and wxPython 2.5.3.1.

When I run the .exe installer, I get an error message right before the 
installation has finished (right before finished as assessed by the 
progress bar). An error window pops up, saying

Python-card-0

Python-card-0 has caused an error in
KERNEL32.DLL

Pythoncard-0 will now close.


I end up with many Pythoncard related files (most in 
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\PythonCard), but no icons, nor any 
filename that would be the obvious one to try to run (eg pythoncard.py).

I tried a search of this list's archives for Kernel32, and a google 
for pythoncard kernel32, both to no avail. I also tried running the 
pythoncard 0.8 .exe installer with the same results.

I am new to GUI tools in python, too. But I wonder if it is possible 
that my wxPython (2.5.3.1) is too new for Pythoncard?

Any suggestions most appreciated. Thanks and best,

Brian vdB

Brian,

Pythoncard needs to be re-packaged for python2.4 on windows.  In the
mean time you can launch all of the programs.  The installation is
complete but bombs out.

Irritating isn't it?

Hi Peter,

thanks for the response. Yep, a bit irksome, but I can cope :-)

I was all ready to follow up with `OK, but which programs, exactly?' 
But, a few minutes poking in the bundled docs, and I think I've got 
what I need -- I'll take a clumsy install with good docs over smooth 
install and poor docs any day!

Thanks again,

Brian vdB

Hey Brian, 

Check out \lib\site-packages\Pythoncard\tools\resourceeditor.py

That's the cool bit. 

:)

Liam Clarke
