installation problem under windows 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have install all the libraries that are in the installation list
(exactly the same)
2. I tried to launch hooke with: c:\python25\python.exe hooke.py
(I was inside the hooke directory, and yes I did not have the global
environment variable for python)
3. After some messages of error (some deprecations due to the libraries and
not from the hooke code) Hooke doesn't start and does not give any error
message.

Could you try to install Hooke in a windows 7 machine?

Should we start to upgrade our libraries to python 2.6 and more recent
versions of numpy, scipy and the other libraries?

These are the installations files that I have used:
python-2.5.4
wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.10.1-py25   (I tried also with the ansi version)
numpy-1.2.1-win32-superpack-python2.5
scipy-0.6.0.win32-py2.5
matplotlib-0.99.1.win32-py2.5
wxmpl-1.3.1

Actually, I managed to run Hooke on Python 2.6 (however on Win XP). I use the
following libraries:

Python 2.6.4
Numpy 1.3.0 (higher version produced an error)
Scipy 0.7.1
Matplotlib 0.98.5.3 (higher version stops with depracation warning of Numerix)
Wxmpl 1.3.1

Maybe this helps on Windows 7, too. Currently, I am waiting on my new Laptop 
with Win
7. Then I will try it out on my own.

Now I had the chance to try hooke on my new Win7 (64-bit) laptop. Unfortunately,
there is no Scipy distribution yet, supporting 64-bit Python. Therefore all 
packages
have to be installed for Win32 systems. (I put Python into the "Program Files 
(x86)"
folder.)

Using Python 2.6.5, everything works fine. Below are the packages in detail: 

Python-2.6.5.msi
wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.11.0-py26.exe
numpy-1.3.0-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe
scipy-0.7.1-win32-superpack-python2.6.exe
matplotlib-0.98.5.3.win32-py2.6.exe
wxmpl-1.3.1.zip

I hope this helps in your case, too.

I looked also in a secondary page of the hooke project, it say to use another 
set of libraries and it worked.  Maybe we should only improve the documentation.
I change the priority in Low.
