Just run the installer and you should be fine.

This is the advice under the Windows install section. Unfortunately it's a no go due to a pyGTK dependency - it just errors out completely.

(note this is only a 30s try - I will come back and figure out the dependency, but pyGTK under windows isnt a quick fix apparently..... not got the time now)

I will thank you a lot if you investigate the problem. The Windows installer comes with PyGTK, so it is supposed to be stand alone. Can you file a bug and help me fix it?

Thanks, Noam

I've had a think (and reread the install instructions which did suggest that in retrospect) I have a feeling I installed pyGTK (or at least tried too) in the past.

Im pretty sure I installed it from source (or whatever the main way for Windows is).

I'll have a look. If it's a bug not caused by my mistake (probably is) I'll let you know.
