Does not start on Win 7 64 bit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install gource, update PATH
2. open console, cd to git-directory
3. execute "gource src" [src = directory of project's source files]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Gource starting its show.
Actual: Process "gorce.exe *32" starts, an empty, white window with the label 
"Gource" opens for a second, closes again, process terminates.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Installed from gource-0.40-setup.exe on Windows 7 Professional SP1.

Please provide any additional information below.
I followed exactly the same steps (for the same project's visualization and 
with the same Gource version) on a Win 7 Starter 32-bit Netbook and it worked 
perfectly.

Hi,

The white window sounds a bit odd. I don't think it will be related to Windows 
7 64bit since that is pretty normal.

Does it write anything to the console when it terminates? Normally it will, 
unless it exited uncleanly for some reason.

Have you tried just running 'gource' from within the repository without 
specifying a sub directory?

What kind of GPU do you have in this machine? Are the drivers for it installed?

Cheers

Andrew

Thank you Andrew,

sorry for the late reply - I was on holidays last week.
You are right, there is a message:
It's "unable to find git.exe", regardless of whether gource is called with or 
without the subdirectory's name as a parameter.

I installed Git together with Eclipse (Kepler), so I don't really know where to 
find git.exe and why it hasn't been added to the path.

My GPU is a Radeon HD6970 and the driver is installed and working..

Cheers

Kai

Could you do an experiment and enter 'git.cmd' into your command prompt and see 
if that finds it? If that works I might make it look for that as well.

Same result for git.cmd, git.exe, or just plain git: "... is not recognized as 
an internal or external command ...".
I'm starting to suspect that the eGit/jGit coming with Eclipse Kepler - being 
pure Java libraries - lack that executable. The reason it works on my netbook 
may be that I had an older, stand-alone version of Git on it before updating 
Eclipse from (Gitless) Iuno to Kepler.

Yup, that was the reason. I installed Git and now Gource works perfectly, even 
on my existing eGit repository.
Thank you very much for your help, Andrew!

P.S.: "Iuno" in #4 above should read "Indigo".
