Admin page not working in Windows (Gallery Folder field)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Admin webpage is not working on a Windows environment.

The Gallery Folder path (in windows) is not recognized.

I expect that the admin page accept the Gallery Folder path. Instead, I get 
this error: "Folder does not exist"
By default, the field is automatically completed with this Path:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache2.2\htdocs\phpi2\gallery"
I have also tried to put the gallery on a different folder but it doesn´t work 
neither.

Im using phpi Version 1.2.0

Thanks for this great product.

Regards.
Alfredo.

I managed to finalize the installation putting "./" in the Gallery Folder field.
Then, I modified the php settings file manually with the correct Gallery Folder 
path.
I have to do this every time that I use the admin page.

Regards,
Alfredo.

Sorry for the issues you're having. Due to me wanting to release this version 
(as it was taking forever to complete) as quickly as possible I had to skip 
testing in windows. I'm certain all these issues you're having are related to 
that fact. I'm going to try and sort out windows support as main priority.

I believe 1.1.1 was the last version to work in windows.

No problem. Yes. 1.1.1 is working fine on Windows.
You are doing a really great job!
Thank you.

not working 1.2 version on windows. the error says "Folder does not exist".
so installation could not complete. the image shows the error.

1.1 version is not good as 1.2 version. i want to use 1.2 version but could not.

- For ibrahim7 -
If you want to use 1.2, then there is a workarround that you can use.
In the folder gallery, just put "./" even if this is not the right folder of 
your pictures.
Then, edit the phppi_settings.php and modify the gallery_folder variable 
manually with the correct path. 

Example:
$this->settings['gallery_folder'] = "F:\MyPictures";

Or you can wait for the next release...

Sorry but as I said previously Windows support is not yet available. Windows 
support is at the top of my list for the next release.

If you believe that folder is writable then you can try continuing anyway. 
Otherwise being that it's a windows based install you'd probably have more luck 
with version 1.3.0 (although it doesn't have an admin page it does support 
windows better).
