Gramps, Windows and Trusted Computing

Hello,

Some people ask to me how to get last Gramps stable release in french into Gramps Vista (and maybe later) !!!

As I left Windows since many years, I was not aware on last "trusted issues"...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing

After some searchs, it is often a python.exe rights management issue. "Windows User Account Control" was poping when running python.exe, users agreed but did not run Gramps into his locale (french).

Problem has been fixed by unchecking something like "run with admin rights" on python excecutable. This was out of Gramps !

My question is : Should windows package rather runs with pythonw.exe ? I have read that pythonw is linked with the WindowManager library, so it can do GUI operations and runs as a background process. Does it change something ? no more UAC ?

For the python excecution rights, I do not know what could be done !


Best Regards,
Jérôme

The command on windows is:

"C:\Program Files\Python26\pythonw.exe" "C:\Program Files\gramps\gramps.py"

It does not need to run as admin so there should be no problems with
"user account control" on Vista or Windows 7. I now have it running
nicely on Windows 7.

I now have Gramps working on 64 bit Windows 7. I just installed all the
32 bit components and it works.
