red r install on MS vista

OK just checked the installer and we look for the exact python 2.6 registry key that would be installed by python. Don't know where the error is coming from. Glad you got the problem resolved though. Could you post what you did to resolve the problem here so others can see if they have this problem. I'll ask Anup if he has seen these errors before.

OK, that's really strange. The installer checks for the existence of required packages and then decides to install or not. Do you have a concurrent instance of python 2.5? The installer might be finding some of the files in the python 2.5 directory. I can have the installer check for this and not allow installation into a 2.5 directory.

Hi Kyle,

This installer got a problem in Windows XP.

Red-R 1.75 Full Snapshot Last updated 13 July 2010
Includes all the components required for run and develop Red-R.
Installs: Python 2.6.4, PyQt 4.5.4, PyQwt5.2.0, pywin32-214, PIL 1.1.7, numpy 1.3.0.
This is a snapshot version with new functionality that is likely to change.

I did a clean install. I even remove the python and pyqt4 registerers using regedit just to make it sure that no python and pyqt installation in my computer.

The problem.

It unpack python2.6.5msi into the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktops, installed it and delete it. ONLY python2.6.5 and then nothing... No other packages are unpack in the desktop. However, the logs in the installation screen is display the unpacking, installing and deleting.

I keep on installing but nothing is really installed except python2.6. I also look at site packages and nothing is installed.

Probably you can check it, download the installer and install it in Windows XP machines.

I keep on tinkering and see what happen.

Thanks.

Hi Kyle.

I tried to uninstalled the latest pyqt4.7.2 and the pyqwt and installed RED-R again. Now, the RED-R is looking for pyqt. I download and installed pyqt4.5.2 from pyqwt site. This is help a bit. But now, I have this error.

from rpy_options import set_options
ImportError: No module named rpy_options

BTW, how do this installer work? Is the install got all the packages already when you download the RED-R installer? I think I have to delete python26 folder and install RED-R again and also uninstalled pyqt and pyqwt.

I think this problem is related to Qwt not installed (see errors below)

Qwt dependency must be noted in the installation, not just PyQWT. The only problem is, QWT does n't have precompiled share libraries (qwt.dll, qwt.dylib and qwt.so).

I don't like downloading big files especially I don't have a good broadband plan (i.e. 3G mobile broadband) - Qt for Windows LGPL is quite big download.

Probably Red-R can provide Qwt.dll for windows users.

I am installing in Windows XP.

Thanks, Noli

While the installation seemed to go fine, I can't find the base application to initiate my first schema. Please help me get started.
