It looks like the main problem was that the install needed to be done with admin privileges, since it wanted to use *c:\Program Files*.
Personally, I have never installed this way from a git clone. Instead, I set PYTHONPATH to point to the top of the clone's directory. This can be done by hand, or better by a batch file. Here's the batch file that I use (*py *is an alias for *python* on my system): @echo off set OLDPATH=%PYTHONPATH% set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;c:\Tom\git\leo-editor py -m leo.core.runLeo %* set PYTHONPATH=%OLDPATH% You could also use *setlocal*...*endlocal* instead of saving and restoring the previous PYTHONPATH. When you set PYTHONPATH, python looks for files first in the PYTHONPATH directory path before looking in the standard locations. This is exactly what you want here.
