The winprint installer currently installs pygmentize.exe in \Program Files\Kindel Systems\winprint which means pygments doesn't need installation, but if Python isn't installed or configured right pretty-print won't work.

There are lots of options for fixing:

GUI now (PR #36) has a check with message box.

Still need to implement in console version and installer.
