Hi, I'm going to short circuit my post of about an hour ago that had
a jpg file attached. It may catch up later.
What I discovered is that changing the env variable made no
difference.

I had py 2.5.2 installed (Yes, I know it's old) on my Win 7
64-bit PC earlier this year, but it began to fail back in
June. I tried a uninstall/install, but that got me nowhere.
I tried again yesterday. Uninstalled, then puzzled over
whether I should delete the remaining python25 folder. There
were a few files in it. Nothing that looked relevant of use
any longer. I did notice several Remove....exe files for
numpy, scipy and others. Rather than chance messing up
python25, I renamed it, then installed 2.5.2.
I found that every time I tried to activate a py file, or open
it in IDLE, I would get an error that said something like
this:
c:\Users\blah\...\junk.py is not a valid Win 32 app. (or
idle.pyw)
Comments?
Not specifically a Python program - more Windows-related
than anything.
That being said, it sounds an awful lot like the python.exe
isn't in your path. To get it there you can open windows
explorer (WIN+E) right click on computer > properties then
click advanced system settings. In the window that pops up,
click the "environment variables" button. In the "system
variables" portion, find the path variable and click the
"Edit..." button. Assuming that your new installation was
placed in C:\Python25\ you will want to add ";C:\Python25\"
(the semicolon is important!) to the end of your path.
Then you should be able to open the .py files.
HTH,
Wayne
