Hi Duane The first thing to check is whether you're running 64-bit of 32-bit Windows. If 64-bit, are you also running a full set of native 64-bit Python, GTK+, Matplotlib, jModelica, etc? Or just 32-bit? If you have 32-bit Python on 634-bit Windows, that's a bit of a tricky case: beware of the locations that your stuff is installed in. You should have GTK+ installed in c:\Program Files (x86)\GTK+-2.222 (this should be the installer found in 'thirdparty' in the ASCEND download site -- the ones ending in '-a4.exe' for ASCEND4).
It sounds as though GTK+ is probably not being detected correctly. ASCEND's installer doesn't use Python to determine if a fully operational GTK is installed. Instead if queries the Windows registry and then checks whether an expected DLL is there. You can check out the details of the test here: http://code.ascend4.org/viewvc/code/trunk/nsis/detect.nsi?revision=4102&view=markup http://code.ascend4.org/viewvc/code/trunk/nsis/installer.nsi?view=markup One small possibility is that the 'Program Files' directory name is hard-coded somewhere in the installer. Do you have a non-English version of Windows? What is the name of your Program Files directory? I haven't really tested that case. Check whether 'import gtk' works correctly from an IPython prompt. Probably this is about a registry key or file location not being what was expected. Let me know if any of the above helps; if not, I'll scratch my head a bit more...
