Cannot get 2013.2.19 to work in Windows

[machawk1]

As reported by Ed Pinsent of University of London:

Downloaded http://matkelly.com/wail_old/release/WAIL%200.2013.2.19.zip, unzipped, moved packages to C:\WAIL

When I run wail.exe, I get the following errors. Tried on both Win10 and WIn7, both cases have same problem.

Pulled 51e2d11001fe1415d4959bbd8de2533677cfe0d7 fresh to Win10 C:\wail then ran bundledApps\MAKEFILE.bat, which finishes and creates an .exe. Upon launching the EXE, there is a noticeable delay then an alert pops up saying, "Failed to execute script WAIL" with a title "Fatal Error".

Python 2.7.13

UPDATE: That was an obsolete branch without win fixes applied. Re-pulled 81751984cd1c42e4bd68bdd6f4990c311fe30f59 from win-fixes branch. A Java installation dialog is then shown. Selecting yes displays the same "Failed to" alert. Selecting NO quits the binary.

Downloaded 3d879cd from win-fixes.

Same "Failed to execute script WAIL" error on windows 10

[machawk1]

Thanks for the confirmation, @Krytical13 . I am working on getting this back to stable on Windows in the win-fixes branch: https://github.com/machawk1/wail/tree/win-fixes

We also have an Electron version of WAIL at https://github.com/n0tan3rd/wail which should work in Windows 10. Please feel free to give it a try.
