(Is this related with http://bugs.python.org/issue6792 or https://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=539? )

I've been trying to install Ride properly on my laptop but even when I see the icon and it has been successfully installed, nothing actually happens when I click on the icon.

I don't know if this is a OS issue or a 64 bit vs 32 bit version, but the problem is that it simply won't run. I don't even get an error message.

PYTHON VERSION: 2.7.9 Robot Framework version: 2.8.7 (Python 2.7.9 on win32) OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

It may be because I'm running a 32bit Python but am not sure? Python command line and IDE run fine when I run it. Not sure what other factors I should be looking at when I run this.

Attached is the screenshot of my command line. Hope it helps.

Let me know what other information would be necessary.

By the way I have tried to install the 64 bit version of Python but it keeps saying Win32 and am not sure why.

What happens when you type "ride.py" in the command prompt?

It tells me I need to install the wxPython2.8 unicode support.

Which I did before I installed RIDE.

Here is the filepath:C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\wx-3.0-msw

Sorry I realized I installed the wrong wxPython.

I have now managed to run RIDE.

Thank you for your help as I would not have been able to note that!
