problems installing on Windows

[Ita Ryan]

Hi, I asked a question on this on the mailing list but then I realised that you asked for problems to be logged as tickets. I'm trying to install the plugin on my Windows 7 machine but I'm having problems. I think I have everything in place but when I ran the ooextract.py file it fell over on the 'import uno' line.

I think I need to install 'unotools', or do I just need to install PyUNO?

Do you know if the plugin will work on Windows 7?

Many thanks, Ita

Where do you see that asked? The newticket page states the exact opposite: Support and installation questions should be asked on the mailing list or IRC channel, not filed as tickets.

There has been no activity from the plugin author in a long time, so you are unlikely to receive a response. You will probably have better luck on the mailing list. This is one of the more difficult plugins to get working correctly in my experience.

Sorry about that(

It was my first exp with trac plugins for my little project. Now project is finished and current version of plugin works fine and dont need my attention)

@rjollos From the docrenderplugin page: "If you have any issues, create a new ticket." I am having issues so I clicked on 'new ticket', then got the 'Support and installation questions...' message and therefore asked a question on the mailing list instead. I got some replies from the mailing list but nothing from the plugin author, so felt that perhaps the author would prefer a ticket, as specified on the plugin page.

@anonymous Are you the author? Can you answer either of my questions?

Anyway. Does anyone know if this plugin will work or ever has worked on Windows? I don't mind jumping through hoops to get it working, as long as I know it's theoretically possible.

Re installing 'unotools'vs PyUNO, I guess I'll try PyUNO first and see how I get on. Unfortunately I'm supposed to be doing real work - something to do with a crucial release or something - so I'll have to wait before I can get back to this interesting problem.

Any advice or information on whether it ever works with Windows and which uno to install would be most appreciated.

I believe the main issue is just with getting the dependency installed for Python 2. It doubt it's a bad plugin or anything, you are just solving a difficult problem ;)
