Thanks!

I wasn't exactly looking forward to trying to figure it out myself but I wanted it bad enough. I appreciate it and look forward to the release.

I have just installed deluge 1.1.3 on my windows vista 32 bit using the described method. I want to highlight some things:

1) one has to install python and all the other dependencies in the default folder (c:\python25) otherwise deluge.exe and deluged.exe don't work (one can however modify deluge-script.py and make deluge start from there, but then you can't associates files .torrent to deluge), I think this should be explained in the instructions
2) a sort of command line window that says 1.1.3 remains open all the time that deluge runs and if you close it deluge will close too
3) the preference button and the preference item in the edit menu do not work at all (if you click nothing happens)
4) some entries in the menu is translated in italian (my OS is italian) but most of them are in english (I don't remeber if this happened also with 1.1.0)
5) when I sort some columns and close and reopen deluge they remain sorted but others don't

I don't know if 3 4 and 5 depends on the installation method or are bugs of 1.1.3.
Anyway I wanted to tell you to keep up the good work and I hope you'll provide soon an installer.

Well I am now forced to upgrade, since a private site that I belong to is about to ban Deluge 1.1.0.

Hopefully this works. Otherwise, I guess that I will have put my tail between my legs and return to that sinister non-open sourced app owned by big brother called utorrent or quit using peer-to-peer completely.

If it doesn't work, it has been a pleasure using this great software.

Here is the error I get on launch

python.exe

This application has failed to start because libgio-2.0-0.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

In the command window, I get the following information.

(python.exe:3520): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Unable to load imag
e-loading module: C:\GTK/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.dll: The specifie
d module could not be found.

(python.exe:3520): libglade-WARNING **: could not convert string to type `GdkPix
buf' for property `icon'

(python.exe:3520): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Unable to load imag
e-loading module: C:\GTK/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.dll: The specifie
d module could not be found.

(python.exe:3520): libglade-WARNING **: could not convert string to type `GdkPix
buf' for property `icon'

The preference menu item will not open after startup.

I think that something is missing in the installation procedures.

You seem to have gtk 2.10 installed but in the instructions we specify 2.12.. ?

Andar,

I removed Deluge 1.1.0 prior to following every step in sequence in the wiki (http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/Windows). I even removed all traces of Deluge, GTK, and Python 25, and tried to reinstall.

If I delete the files in my C:\Documents and Settings\hordak\Application Data\deluge, the app comes up clean with out these errors, but it still refuses access to the preference tab. This is even a worse situation, since I would not have the correct ports open to uses the app, edit my plugins (flexrss), and shutdown DHT. This is a show stopper in my book.

I wish that the private torrent site that is getting ready to ban Deluge 1.1.0 would reconsider and give you time to get a windows port ready for prime time.

I've fixed the issue with the Preferences window in revision 4820 .. You could patch the files manually if you want.

I've uploaded an experimental install of Deluge 1.1.3 for windows.. I think you will still need the GTK runtime installed, but you shouldn't need any of the other deps.

Download from here: http://deluge-torrent.org/deluge-1.1.3-1.zip
This is not an installer so just extract it and run the deluge.exe

I've just uploaded another version that should not require the GTK runtime to be installed.. Please test it!

Could a link be put up to the experimental windows installer on the downloads page? Or at least ver. 1.1.0?
