I just attempted to install scitools. Is there a script that will
test the installation?

I recieved 3 error messages (see below). What should I do? I have
tried this a couple times from the Windows exe.

In window:
Setup SciTools-0.8

1
Coult not create ...
SciTools-py2.6

2
Could not set key value
Python 2.6 SciTools-8.0

3
Could not set key value
"C:\Python26\RemoveSciTools.exe" -u "C:\Python26\SciTools-wininst.log"

I clicked "OK" at each.

Then clicked the "Finish" button.


Thank you,
Ray

Try to run python in a command prompt and see if you can import scitools:

>>> import scitools

SciTools should be correctly installed if you don't get any error messages.

This might be safe to ignore, but have you tried running the
installation program as an administrator? Simply right-click on the
installer and choose "Run as administrator".

Johannes,

Run as administrator worked great.
