I'm running Vista 64bit, and I'm having trouble installing python properly, and getting mushclient to accept it as a scripting language. I downloaded ActivePython 2.6.6.15, the 32 bit version, installed, downloaded pywin32-214, when I tried to run setup it told me to to use python setup.py -q install, which I did and I recieve an error "error: unable to find vcvarsall.bat", more research suggested that I use a c compiler, MinGW to do the install, as a work around for the problem, however mingw give me the error "can't find a version in windows.h" I also ran C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client\pyscript.py. Windows prompts for permission, and it says registering python, and seems to work.

Refrences
The error from mushclient:
Error -2147221164 occurred when loading scripting engine:
Class not registered

I have had Mushclient and Python scripting working on THIS computer before, same operating system and everything, and the install was not nearly this annoying. I feel like I'm on a wild goose chase installing a second compiler, and I'm not really sure what there is left to do but continue down that rabbit hole. Help is greatly appreciated.

I think ActivePython is supposed to be all containing, but I don't use that package myself.

I use the plain 'official' Python 2.6 for Windows, then get myself pywin32 for Python 2.6, and make sure I install those with the proper permissions.

Beyond that, I'm not exactly sure what is wrong. If you have run that axclient.py file (also with proper 'elevated' permissions), it should simply work.

I'm sorry I can't help more. Last time I looked at Python I thought "I have to do *what* do get it to work?".

Can you revert back to the version that was working? That is all I can suggest.

I re-formated since then, so I can't revert, I'm going to try installing python from the main page, which I have done but I was running 3.x, gonna install 2.7 and try again.

I should be installing the 32 bit version of python, even though I'm running a 64 bit system, because mushclient is 32 bit, yes?
