Issue with installing and running Weewx on windows

[Miste Yalmi]

Let me start by saying that I am new to Python, so please bear with me. After installing python and weewx and following the process that was laid out here: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/weewx-on-windows , I attempted to Run Weewx. I received the following  error:
PS C:\Users\weewx> python bin\weewxd weewx.conf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin\weewxd", line 64, in
weewx.engine.main(options, args)
File "C:\Users\weewx\bin\weewx\engine.py", line 891, in main
engine = engine_class(config_dict)
File "C:\Users\weewx\bin\weewx\engine.py", line 72, in init
self.setupStation(config_dict)
File "C:\Users\weewx\bin\weewx\engine.py", line 90, in setupStation
driver = config_dict[stationType]['driver']
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\configobj.py", line 554, in getitem
val = dict.getitem(self, key)
KeyError: 'unspecified'

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Looks like it's failing trying to read the weewx.conf file for the driver for your station. What do you have in your weewx.conf file for the station_type?

Thanks for your assistance I have a better understanding now but I still have an issue

Currently it is station_type = 'unspecified'

I am trying to use the accurite_bridge (smarthub) for which it says to use the Simulator driver but I don't know to set that up

Are you sure you want simulator? That will give you simulated data not the real thing. I would have thought you'd want accurite. In any case, put the station type you want for station_type.

This came up from another Windows user a week or two ago.  Do a little searching in the google-group for your exact error message.  There was a discussion then.
