Insufficient installation guide for Windows #120

At https://bit.namecoin.org/browse.html you say NMControl is for browsing .bit sites so i followed link you provided on that page and i ended up in this github project. README says for to execute following in case of a Windows OS:

pip install pywin32

Collecting pywin32 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pywin32

have pip-9.0.1

tried: pip install pypiwin32 succeeded

bottle installed too

python nmcontrolwin.pyw

python: can't open file 'nmcontrolwin.pyw': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

So there were 2 problems with installation guide mentioned in README.md Third problem is that is not mentioned how noob can install python, no link to a tutorial. some tutorial is here. Fourth problem is when i download this project .zip file extract it and run like: python "C:\Program Files\nmcontrol-master\nmcontrolwin.pyw"

window with following error appears:

Traceback, File "...\nmcontrolwin.pyw" line 9, in import splashscreen ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'splashscreen'

It would be nice if your README is made the way so i know how to install the software without errors like four errors above, more detailed, and what to exactly do. Is there any missing steps in Windows installation tutorial?

It would be nice if your README is made the way so i know how to install the software without errors like one above. Also it do not contains any information on how to install python. Not everyone is a programmer to know how to do it. More noob friendly guide for Windows would be good.

Hello! NMControl is currently being phased out in favor of ncdns. You can download a beta Windows installer for ncdns at https://www.namecoin.org/download/betas/ . Let us know if any issues arise with it.

Cheers.
