In E:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\eric4\Examples\ the only one that
runs is hallo.py

For rhallo.py I get

===================================
E:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\eric4\Examples>rh
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\eric4\Exa
    import eric4dbgstub
ImportError: No module named eric4dbgstub
======================================

And the 2 others give me similar errors.

the installation.
