I have installed git-cola using the windows installer.

During install it asked me to point to git, and python. I pointed it to python34. I read that git-cola need PyQT4. When I installed PyQT4, it said that it was built against python 3.4. So that is the python version I am using.

Anyways, after all was said and done, when I try to launch git-cola, nothing happens whatsoever.....

Try launching git-cola from a bash shell and it should give you some
output in the event of an error.

e.g. run ..../path/to/pythonw.exe ..../path/to/git-cola

Is your git in the default location? If not, you'll need to specify
it to cola by creating a ~/.config/git-cola/git-bindir file with the
path to git's bin directory, e.g.:

C:/Tools/Git/bin

This is only needed if Git is not installed in the default location.
