You don't need the DaboRuntimeSetup.exe file. It is designed for people
who want to try out Dabo without having to install anything like wxPython, db
adapters, or even Python itself. You can delete it from the Control Panel -
Add/Remove Programs.

I'm not familiar with PyScripter, but in the past, running Dabo through
other programs has caused all sorts of hard-to-reproduce conflicts and errors.
Typically, these editors/shells do their own "magic" to the environment when
they run, and either that magic messes up Dabo, or vice-versa.
Try keeping it simple: open up a DOS terminal window by running cmd.exe
(Start -> Run... -> cmd.exe). Once you have a terminal window, run Python by
typing 'python' at the prompt. Then run the commands you tried above and see
how they work.
