help me pliz

Hi!

I just installed 0.9.07 in Windows XP Home, and I have the same problem. What happens is that deluge.exe has the path 'C:\Program Files\Deluge\...' hard coded, and since I'm portuguese (and so is KingstonLove, it seems), my Program Files folder is actually 'C:\Programas\...', so it can't find python.exe, obviously.

The solution? The developers have to fix it... Or install on 'C:\Program Files\...', so deluge.exe can find python.exe... UPDATE: the installer doesn't let change install folder... not even options to change anything related to installation...

Hope this helps to improve Deluge on Windows. I already enjoy it a lot on Linux.

UPDATE 2: SOLVED! I have to apologise to the developers. I just needed a night's sleep, and I solved the problem.

Deluge is written in Python, and last night I wasn't thinking clearly. Today I checked the scripts '...\Deluge\scripts\deluge-script.py' and '...\Deluge\scripts\deluged-script.py' and there it is, the hard coded path. I changed it to 'C:\Programas\Deluge\...' and it worked!

So, anyone who hasn't a English based Windows, or doesn't install by default on 'C:\Program Files\...', should edit these 2 scripts and change the path. Done!

As a suggestion to the developers, I think these scripts should be generated during the install, with the correct path.

How do i do that, edit those 2 scripts and change the path?? TKs

are you running 64 bit windows? the current RC doesn't seem to work for 64 bit windows, even after modifying the cmd/python scripts.
it should hopefully be fixed in the next build.

i did change the path of the two scripts, the deluge opens but it blocks :S

when is the new release out with this solved?

I am running windows XP and I am having the same problem. I have read all the advice and I still don't understand what I have to do to fix the problem.

please help...

At this point going back to RC6 is the only advice I have for people running Windows x64 and the previous workaround I mentioned about copying the install directory...
From what I've heard RC8 isn't working on any version/arch of Windows for at least most people, for the x32 crowd RC7 should work or if all else fails head back to RC6.
And hopefully the RC9 is coming out soon to address this issue.

Boas!

Hi there.

I'm on a XP PRO SP1.

I have done everything like you said, but deluge crashs instantly. This versions are beeing buggier than the previous 0.5.9x.

Any other tip?
