madparts crashes on Windows 8.1 #101

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

I downloaded madparts yesterday, and it has already crashed on me at least a half dozen times. It crashes due to an access violation, apparently at the same location each time. I would attempt to track down the cause, but I know next to nothing about Python.

I tried to do a so-called build of madparts based on the instructions provided at github, but when I attempt to run madparts.py, it complains that gui.dialogs is missing. What library/extension would that be in?

Hello,

The build instructions for win32 are not up to date i seems. You just need to run the "madparts" script in the root directory with python. I mean:

C:\python27\python.exe madparts

instead of:

C:\python27\python.exe madparts.py

That being said, I've been using Linux for many years now so my knowledge of Windows is limited.

Thanks Joost, that works.
