install crashes #13

I downloaded the zip file, extracted, and double clicked on the .exe files. A dialogue window briefly opens, then crashes. Any help is appreciated!

@mahlonzehr Open a cmd window and drag and drop the executable there. Press enter to run it and paste the output.

Thanks for your help! Is that what you needed?

@mahlonzehr Do you have writing permissions in the directory where you're running it?

@mahlonzehr Do you have writing permissions in the directory where you're running it?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean… this computer is my personal laptop so can set the permissions however they need to be set...

@mahlonzehr You aren't because, from the traceback, it seems that you're running this in a Mac using Bootcamp. You need to run the script using the Mac's Python interpreter, instead of the .exe.

Or, use a full Virtual Machine running in VirtualBox instead of a BootCamp system.

Or place the script in a Windows directory inside Bootcamp.

I never used Mac as my daily driver, so I don't know how to help really. You must diagnose this yourself. Basically, the problem is that TLImporter can't write the temporary files it needs.

Ok I did try to run the Python file in the bin folder… It opens a dialogue box saying the file's encoding is invalid for Python 3.x. I click ok, and it opens another dialogue box, I click ok again, and it opens a third and final dialogue box. I'll attach the screenshots.

Box 1

Box 2

Box 3

You are correct, this is a Mac running Bootcamp...

mahlonzehr commented 4 years ago

I was able to get the install to go through running directly inside bootcamp. Thanks!

@mahlonzehr Great news! Closing this!
