bzr explorer won't start

[Joe Michalides]

This is for Windows XP SP2.
I installed bzr-2.3.1-1-setup.exe. The command line bzr commands work but not the Explorer GUI. It does nothing. tbzrtrace.exe showed a couple of win32api.pyd messages (sorry I didn't keep them). I then installed bzr-2.3.4-1-setup.exe. Same thing. No Bazaar Explorer. I then installed python 2.7.2. Explorer now works. You might want to mention Python is needed before installing Bazaar! I assumed "Standalone" was all inclusive. I didn't realize it didn't include Python. I guess its a matter of what your definition of standalone is.

[Joe Michalides (joe-michalides)]

Your web page indicates the Stand-a-lone download includes Python. It does not!

The Standalone Installer

This is typically the best choice for most users and includes:

    the core Bazaar distribution
    help in Windows Help (chm) format
    GUI clients - Bazaar Explorer, QBzr and optionally TortoiseBZR
    numerous bundled plugins including BzrTools, bzr-svn, bzr-upload and bzr-xmloutput
===>>> bundled Python (Python 2.6 for bzr 2.2 and later, and Python 2.5 for older versions) interpreter with all the libraries you need.

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

The installers do include a Python, otherwise bzr would not start at all, so there must be some other problem.

What happens when, without an external Python installed, you run 'bzr explorer' from the command line?

[Joe Michalides (joe-michalides)]

I get nothing. When I run tbzrtrace.exe I get some stuff about lines missing
in that python library I mentioned and a error saying bazaar wasn't
configured properly and I should install it again.

tbzrtrace won't help to resolve problems with Bazaar Explorer. tbzrtrace
works with TortoiseBzr, not with Explorer.

[Joe Michalides (joe-michalides)]

Bazaar Explorer and the right click on file name pop-up menus now work for
Bazaar. All I had to do was load Python 2.7.2 on my WinXP SP2 PC.
I am hnow happy. I don't know why Python didn't work/load for your
Standalone package.

tbzrtrace won't help to resolve problems with Bazaar Explorer. tbzrtrace
works with TortoiseBzr, not with Explorer.

Most likely your system was missed some important dlls, which are now
installed thanks to Python 2.7.2. The Python 2.7.2 is not used by
bzr.exe *at all*.
