Python console not starting for a lite install #83

Closed nickoe closed 5 years ago

nickoe commented 5 years ago

When installing 5.1.1 i368 (possible earlier and x86_64 as well) and unchecking everything in the installer, the python console does not start.

Maybe we are missing some scripts from plugins.

It looks like PyShell_pcbnew_startup.py is created in %appdata%/kicad when it work, and not when it does not work...

It is strange and possibly have something to do with appdata roaming vs appdata local virtualstore.

It looks like when it works it creates 16:24:26.2694886 pcbnew.exe 36344 CreateFile C:\Program Files (x86)\KiCad_32bit4\share\kicad\scripting\kicad_pyshell REPARSE Desired Access: Read Attributes, Disposition: Open, Options: Open Reparse Point, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a, OpenResult: Superseded

When it does not work it does: 16:21:12.3223090 pcbnew.exe 25584 CreateFile C:\Users\noestergaard\AppData\Roaming\kicad\scripting\kicad_pyshell NAME NOT FOUND Desired Access: Read Attributes, Disposition: Open, Options: Open Reparse Point, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a

According to procmon.

It was regression primarily caused by https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg38326.html

When I tested this I used the DESTDIR variable to make to "relocate" the install directory, but with the mentioned change this changed behavior.
