Yes, VIFF is now installed! (on Windows XP SP3)

First I tried to install all the latest versions, including Python 2.6.1. In addition to the fact that PyOpenSSL is not available for Python 2.6 yet, two errors occured: 1. Executing the simple millionaire program did not work. The first error (No module named win32api) was solved by installing Python Extensions for Windows: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018&package_id=79063 2. A second error occured (deprecated hashlib) which I did not manage to fix.

So I decided to install Python 2.5 together with the appropriate packages:
Python 2.5.4
Twisted 8.2.0 for Python 2.5
gmpy 1.03 installer for Windows Python 2.5
Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8j (also had to install Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables from the same page in order to install OpenSSL)
pyOpenSSL installer for Python 2.5
viff-0.7.1 executable

I was then able to run the millionaire example without problems. By the way, it took a few minutes to locate the viff/apps/ directory as explained in the Installation guide / Testing. Since I installed the executable, no such directory existed. Found it in the zip archive though...

Hi Håvard

I'm probably going to use VIFF as a part of my master thesis, but a
problem have occurred when following the installation guide.

Did you manage to get VIFF installed? Please report back with your
experience so that Google and others can benifit from it :-)
