Although as I said if I work from er.exe I get the right questions - I just can't seem to give the right answers.  |
You are running windows, right? Referring to start>run>cmd.exe sounds like it. Just want to verify.
Editing here to add...I know nothing about this self executing script er.exe...haven't tried it. I use python and the ereader2html.py script directly.
But, the error here sounds like either python is not installed or the script and python are not in the same directory/python is not in the system path.
First question: After you downloaded python, you did run the file to install it, right? The version of python I downloaded was a file python-2.5.2.msi; then after downloading a double clicked on it to run/install. Just want to verify that you did that
Second, you can try this: (directions given based on Windows XP)
right click on your My Computer icon and go to Properties. Go to the Advanced tab. Click on the Environment variables button. In the botton half of the dialog there is a list of "system variables" and their values. Find the variable titled "Path" and single click on it to highlight. Then click the "Edit" button. Go to the END of the data that is in the "Variable Value" box. Then add the location where you have python. Example: I have python in c:\python25, so at the end of the existing data, I would add ";c:\python25" (without the quotes--but make sure to include the semicolon!). Then click OK, and OK, and Apply to get back out. This adds the python location to your path so that no matter where it is called from, the system knows where to find it.
