Trying to follow the step in the installation guide for Windows. Extracted the embedPy zip and ran pip install -r tests/requirements.txt

then got an error when running q test.q

Hi @kamchan0

The error 'The specified module could not be found. indicates that the interface was unable to find the required p.dll which the interface links to. Please ensure that the p.dll located within the w64 folder of your extracted .zip file has been placed in your %QHOME/w64 directory and rerun the test script.

All the best,

Conor
