Hi Sid, Maybe we need to start from the begining.
If you don't use Python for another usage as tahoe, you can uninstall all your Python and pywin32 stuff with add/remove program on your control panel. After that, you can remove all Python directories from your c:\ I think you have c:\python25 and c:\python26 (dont remove theses directory before uninstalling properly from add/remove) You can delete entire allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1 diretory. After this point you are going to have clean base to start. So we can start step by step :-) 1) Install Python 2.6 from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.5/python-2.6.5.msi 2) Install pywin32 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ 3) Follow points 1-4 of section "What if that doesn't work?" on page http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/AdvancedInstall 4) Add c:\python26 and c:\python26\scripts to your environment variable PATH (same way as point 4 on AdvancedInstall page) After that we can confirm some points: 5) Open DOS Prompt from: start menu => run => cmd.exe and run these command: a) python -V => (capital V) it must return something like: python 2.6.5 b) g++ -v => it must return somethink like: gcc version 3.4.5 c) as --version => it must return : GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.19.1 Is you don't loose something, you will have Python, and Mingw correctly installed :-) Next point, downloading and installaling Tahoe-Lafs. 6) Download and unzip http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1.zip 7) Open DOS Prompt, and go to directory where you unziped allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1 and run: (you need an Internet connexion to download and install some Python's packages) a) python setup.py build b) python setup.py install c) python setup.py test => To be sure that tahoe-Lafs is good working. If I don't miss somthing, It will build and install successfully Hope that help.
