I suppose you mean http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=show&file=faq21.002.htp ? > dropline gtk installer 1.

Install http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/binaries/pygtk-2.2.0-1.win32-py2.3.exe > PATH set Modify your path PATH="%PATH%;%gtkdir%\lib;%gtkdir%\bin" (win9.x : autoexec.bat, win2k, winxp: Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables) where gtkdir is C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\ (adapt to your local GTK+ runtime installation if necessary). If it does not work, you have DLL leftovers from a previous installation: 1. Look in system folders for GTK+ related DLLs or 2. Format HDD and Reinstall Windows !!! Ideally, everything should be handled by the pygtk installer, namely looking for the proper runtime, allowing the user to choose one specific runtime if multiple instances are installed, and setting some kind of pygtk registry entry that points to the selected runtime (with automatic download of the recommended runtime if none is found !!!). pygtk.require ('2.0') would then temporarily modify the PATH for the duration of the pygtk script. I'm working on a modified setup.py script (with pre and post installation) steps that would take care of this. Definitively a nice programming project ! The win32all package installer by Mark Hammond is a good example. See the recent bugzilla entry for details. Any help is appreciated. As a side note, I'm getting tired of these various, unofficial and incompatible (registry-wise) installers, and the installation questions/problems they generate. I don't think it helps in spreading the use of GTK+ on win32.
