OpenERP v7 Windows, installation error

[Sylvain Plante]

OpenERP v7 Trunk 6.2dev-20121116-000101

Setup in windows is missing some piece to make the application working.

See the included log file for detail.

I am running a fresh install windows 2003 server with all patchs and services pack installed. There is nothing else on this server.

Should be an easy installation.

Here is the content of the config file

This for sure is a problem with the python path, is not being imported in the python enviroment.

I confirm this issue happend to me too !!

Thank you for the comment.

I think I made a really stupid error... Is there any Python environment installed with the windows «allinone» package?

Python is available by default on Linux but not on Windows... I overlook it in the required environment or maybe they did not mention it because it is so obvious.

So I did not install any Python environment before installing OpenERP! I did it after to poke around and try to find out why the web module is missing.

I need to reinstall and try again!

[Sylvain Plante (sylvain-plante)]

Ok!

Anybody being able to run this thing in Windows?

I thought that I had made a mistake by not installing a Python environment... Well after spending the whole weekend recovering from an update to XenServer 6.1 that turned bad, I finally got the chance to try it again. This time I installed the Activestate Python interpreter before installing OpenERP.

Well it did not change nothing cause while OpenERP is in Python if I am not mistaking, it is compiled so it does not need the interpreter.

So I would appreciate any insight from you guys.

From reading the log you attached to this bug report and the source code of the stdlib getpass and pwd modules, it looks like you need to set *one* of the following environment variables for the user running OpenERP:

LOGNAME, USER, LNAME or USERNAME

The docstring seems to indicate that USERNAME is the preferred one on Windows.

[Sylvain Plante (sylvain-plante)]

Dear Alexandre,

You save my day!

I actually added the USERNAME environment variable to the sytem variable using the predefined %USERNAME%.

When I pointed my browser to http://localhost:8069 it shown a page talking about installing the Google Chrome Framework.

I was a bit surprise but I installed it and it work!

Thank you!

As per your last comment I am closing this issue.

Thanks!

Hello Amit,

Sorry to disagree but why is it classified as invalid? I had a real problem that is related to the installation script. Is there anybody that will fix that? Did I miss something?
