Definately a wxPython issue.

I have done some googling and it seems like you might have to install this from Microsoft:

Sorry I can't be of much more help!!

Thanks for trying out the app tho! A windows tester will be great!

[sry_not4sale]

Any feedback/suggestions/problems would be great too people

[BenFenner]

Sure can, although this was a clean install. =]

Which order should I install the three packages?

I did:
Python 2.6
PyWin32 2.1 for Python 2.6
WxPython 2.8 for Python 2.6

Edit: I installed the Microsoft language pack linked above and moved back to WxPython (Unicode version) and it's fixed my first problem. New problem.

Python 2.6 (r26:66721, Oct 2 2008, 11:35:03) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

I'll hit altavista for some clues. =D

I dont know if this will help - try this anyway -

EDIT: May not need this file

Seems to be a pyWin issue. I tried installing it again and this time (after installing the MS language pack?) it let me install from outside the Python directory. We'll see what happens.

Edit: It works now! No need for the file linked above. Guess it was the language pack I needed in the first place. Thanks! Impressions to come soon.

[BenFenner]

Nothing crazy going on here in Windows. The app looks fine and all the GUI stuff acts as it should. I don't have anything to connect to, so I get a comm error every time I try to do anything that would communicate with the hardware, but so far no obvious issues.

[sry_not4sale]

You can set the app to use a "Fake" comms adaptor, which will "connect" and just reflect any sent packets back. Next job is to make it send actual response packets back. This is an option in the config file.

The README file has more info on config variables, the variables themselves are listed in the config.default.ini file

[sry_not4sale]

So what fixed it in the end?

[BenFenner]

It would seem that the Microsoft language pack you linked me to fixed it. If I had installed that first, then installed Python, then wxPython, then pyWin I probably would have not had any problems. I'll give the Fake thing a try and RTFM. =]

[BenFenner]

Bling.
