Comment by Arjan.Kranenburg:
The message in my previous post was probably the result of a half
python/jython/RobotFW installation which itself was the result of a
combination of not reading but skimming this guide and possibly a bug in
this guide.
I now have a new fresh laptop with Windows 7 on it. I've installed Python
2.6.5 and added the Python directory to the PATH environment variable. This
works for Python since the following command works in any directory:
C:\>python --version
Python 2.6.5
But when running the windows installer, it says it cannot find a Python
installation in the registry. Apparently it also looks for a registry
setting, but which one?
(Also: After the error you get a window where you can select the python
installation to use. The list is empty for me, so I thought I type in the
location. But those fields are not editable, despite the blinking cursor.
Would it be an improvement to make these fields editable?)
