I set up every thing that you stated but i just dont know what to do next.

Just run the "src\scripts\RunFofFromSources.bat" or doubleclick the "src\FretsOnFire.py" and you should be able to test.

It doesn't work. I clicked on src\FretsOnFire.py but nothing happens.

It doesn't work. I clicked on src\FretsOnFire.py but nothing happens.

It could be a path problem... Try this.

Klick on windows start menu and select run...
Type: cmd
Then press enter.

Now you should be at the command line (sorry if this is obvious to you im just trying to help)

Type: python
Press enter.

What happens ? does it look like this ?

Code: Select all

Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec  4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

If it doesn't work then you found your problem.
To fix it do this.

1. From the desktop, right-click My Computer and click properties.
2. In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
3. In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.
4. Finally, in the Environment Variables window, highlight the path variable in the Systems Variable section and click edit. Add or modify the path lines with the paths you wish the computer to access. Each different directory is separated with a semicolon as shown below.

C:\Program Files;C:\Winnt;C:\Winnt\System32

What you need to do is ADD the path to your python installation at the END of the string above.

eg. C:\Program Files;C:\Winnt;C:\Winnt\System32;C:\Python26

Save and close all windows and try running FoFiX again.

well it looks like this on the command line
this is pissing me off.

[Nickman]

well it looks like this on the command line...... this is pissing me off.

Well then im out of ideas... run RunFofFromSources.bat from the command line.. maybe you can see what is wrong then.

Right klick with the mouse and choose mark.. then you can copy the text and paste it here in text form next time.. no need to make a screenshot.

assuming you've installed 2.6, all required modules, and added python 2.6 to the PATH

rename "c:\Python24" folder to "c:\Python24.bac" or uninstall it (if present fofix will use it by defaut)

[jfosheezy]

Just look at the wiki of the homepage, there's all you need.

no 2.6 isn't required, sorry it thought you were trying to switch

did you open the scripts folder in the src folder and run "RunFofFromSources.bat" ?

[jfosheezy]

yes and it says it cant find files

[jfosheezy]

Next time, right click on the window, properties -> Options -> Quick Edit mode = check
Layout -> Window Height and Size x2 (e.g. 80 = 160) and then just mark the text, press enter and paste it here in a code or quote tag. It's a lot easier than taking photos and upload them.
