Hello,

Windows Vista SP2 32 bit
Python 2.7.2
Python 3.2.2
eric4-4.4.20
eric5-5.18
PyQt-Py2.7-x86-gpl-4.9-1.exe
PyQt-Py3.2-x86-gpl-4.9-1.exe

PYQT INSTALL MAY SET WRONG PATHS?

I am trying to install eric4 and eric 5 into respectively Python 2.7 and 
Python 3.2.
This uses the appropriate PyQt windows binaries above
.
The eric mailing list have told me this is a PyQt issue.

ERIC4:

PROBLEM
PyQt modules import correctly as per eric manual test.

I have eric4 download folder extracted to C:\Python27.

When I run "install" it starts and confirms PyQt4 is found, but then states
"Sorry, please install QtHelp. DLL load failure"

In the same PyQt folder there are definitely QtHelp.pyd and a QtHelp4.dll
files.

Eric 4 installation apparently cannot find them though.

SOLVED
In the Registry the default path for PyQt4 was found to be set for Python32.
I cleaned this out and reinstalled and eric4 now installed.


ERIC5
I again looked in the Registry and the default path is wrongly set to 
Python27 ??
I cleaned this out and reinstalled.
This did not work though, although I am in the Python32 folder it still 
thinks it is Python27 and  I get the following error message:

c:\Users\Robert>cd c:\python32\eric5-5.1.8

c:\Python32\eric5-5 .1 .8>install
