Windows installation

Postby tremour_an » Tue Dec 03, 2013 11:53 am

HI

I'm new here and to Makehuman, I've just installed it on Windows and I've hit a brick wall, I get a MessageBox telling me it's doesn't want to run because it's not configured correctly and I should try installing it again, which of course, doesn't work. I though might be something to do with the manifest but that seems ok. My question is: Where can I find a reasonably succinct list of system requirements and installation instructions?

Is this the A7 (current stable) version you are trying to install?

If you download from here: http://www.makehuman.org/content/downlo ... build.html then there are no dependencies or specific requirements. Just unzip and double-click the icon.

Hi, the installer I downloaded was: makehuman-1.0a7-win32.exe, I'm assuming that's the current stable version you mean?

OK thanks, I'll give that one a go, btw do you know what the dependencies for 1.0a7-win32 are?

There shouldn't be any dependencies. However, some things installed on your system might cause it to not work (another python installation, graphics drivers without full support for opengl...). It is a bit more fragile than the currently nightly builds.

While they're "nightly builds" they are at least as stable as alpha 7, since we're nearing release of alpha 8.
