Thanks Andrew. multi_stim.py worked fine. quicktime.py failed with the attached error message. I inserted a statement in ctypes\__init__.py just before the error occurs, to print out self._name, which it tries to load. It's C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTMLClient.dll. Indeed, this file is absent on my computer; the QTSystem folder doesn't exist and QTMLClient.dll isn't anywhere else. I updated to the latest version of Quicktime, and no difference. Side note: I needed to install numpy before multi_stim.py would run. You should add numpy to the list of necessary packages in the download instructions. -----Original Message----- From: visionegg-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:visionegg-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Straw Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 5:54 PM To: visionegg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [visionegg] Re: quicktime Hi Mason, I have a 1.1 release candidate compiled and waiting for testing on Windows. Seeing as I've had this compiled and ready to test for some weeks (since my "1.1 imminent" email) but haven't actually found the time/willpower to fire up a Windows installation and test, you're now volunteered as the tester. I have uploaded this release to http://visionegg.org/Intro%20and%20Overview?action=AttachFile&do=view&ta rget=visionegg-11win32-py25.exe Note that I really can't advertise this release too much because it's labelled as "1.1" even though it should really be "1.1rc1". In other words, the real 1.1 will supercede this. (This will obviously only be a problem if this does not become the real 1.1.) Anyhow, I did my best to ensure that quicktime is working with this release, so it should hopefully resolve your issue. Also, you should not need to use a C compiler to use this. This includes just the Vision Egg python modules -- none of the demo scripts. If you could simply get them from http://visionegg.org/svn/trunk/visionegg/demo/ and test, that would be best. If you test these demos successfully (in particular multi_stim.py and quicktime.py), I'll go ahead and make this the 1.1 release. FWIW, I had to use Visual Studio 2003 to get this to compile -- now quite hard to get, I think.
