Hi all, I am trying to install TextIndexNG 3.1.5 on Windows. I recompiled the pyd files successfully using MinGW. However TextIndexNG3 setup fails to find them, traceback included below. There are three instructions from the fine manual and elsewhere that I am trying to follow: 1. README says Plone users must remove comments from configure.zcml . 2. Release notes say: rebuild *and* reinstall . Rebuild works, but reinstall does not. 3. Barry Drake suggested move the pyd files from build dir to TextIndexNG dir Regarding 1, I am using Plone 2.1.2. but I don't recognize anything that looks like a comment in 3.1.5 version of configure.zcml. (But I don't know how to read that kind of file.) Regarding 2. Build was successful, but reinstall fails as follows. Running "python setup.py install" in C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG3\extension_modules fails with the same error that started this thread regarding VC6 mismatch. However Barry and I have had pyds created by this method working successfully with TextIndexNG2. Regarding 3. The traceback error occurs regardless of whether the pyd files are in any of the following C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG3\ C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG3\extension_modules C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG3\extension_modules\zopyx\txng3 C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG3\Extensions My setup: python.exe is registered in Windows there is only one python.exe on the machine Zope 2.8.5 new install, includes python 2.3.5 Plone 2.1.2 TextIndexNG3.1.5 is installed in C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG3 Any thoughts? Thanks, Owen ....my event.log for this issue is next....

news:20060214162051.41816.qmail@web202.biz.mail.re2.yahoo.com... Tres and Owen, Using Tres's advice below, I was able to recompile TextIndexNG2 on my Windows machine using the MingW compiler. Works great! I used the Python that came with Zope and the latest MingW compiler. Just follow the instructions at the link provided by Tres below. With one additional instruction: Copy the .pyd files from the C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG2\build\lib.win32-2.3 directory to C:\Zope-Instance\Products\TextIndexNG2 Zope won't start unless you do this last step. System: Zope Version (Zope 2.7.6-final, python 2.3.5, win32) Python Version 2.3.5 (#62, Feb 8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] System Platform win32 Barry Drake
