Post-install error

[JohnBlood]

I just finished installing zim 0.65 on Win7 64-bit. I told the installer to open Zim after install and the following message popped up:

This is zim 0.65
Platform: nt
Locale: en_US cp1252
FS encoding: mbcs
Python: (2, 7, 11, 'final', 0)
Gtk: (2, 24, 10)
Pygtk: (2, 24, 0)
Zim revision is:
  branch: 065
  revision: 805 <email address hidden>
  date: 2015-11-01 15:42:45 +0100

======= Traceback =======
  File "zim\main.pyo", line 446, in main
  File "zim\main.pyo", line 211, in run
  File "zim\ipc.pyo", line 283, in start_server_if_not_running
AssertionError: Failed to start server (spawning)

Any idea what the problem is?

Hi John,

This typically means that there is still a socket open with either no
process running, or an old version running.

Should go away after shutting down and restarting.

Alternative is to run zim from a terminal or batch file with the
"--standalone" option to avoid hanging on the socket.

Regards,

Jaap
