What works
Nothing
What does not
Installing the dependecies for gramps using
Python 2.6.x in the order listed on the "
Windows installer" wiki page:
(1)Python 2.6.5 (installs ok & works) (used wine msiexec /i python-2.6.5.msi)
(2)GTK+ 2.12.9 (gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe) (installs ok & running "gtk demo" from the wine menu works ok / the Glade desktop icon gives "Error: File not found / "Theme Selector" starts ok and changing themes works)
(3)pygtk-2.16.0.win32-py2.6 (installs ok)
(4)pygobject-2.20.0.win32-py2.6.exe (installs ok)
(5)pycairo-1.4.12-2.win32-py2.6.exe (installs ok)
(6)Validating the dependencies (before trying to install gramps) have installed correctly,
[step 1] wine cmd (works)
[step 2] gtk-demo (works ok)
[step 3a] python (works ok)
[step 3b&c] skipped as (3a) worked
[step 4a] import pygtk (works ok)
[step 4b] import gtk (fails with a wine "Program Error" box and the following in the terminal)
wine: Call from 0x7bc4b0b0 to unimplemented function libgio-2.0-0.dll.g_emblem_get_type, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function libgio-2.0-0.dll.g_emblem_get_type called at address 0x7bc4b0b0 (thread 001e), starting debugger...
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function libgio-2.0-0.dll.g_emblem_get_type called in 32-bit code (0x7bc4b0b0)
(and kicks you out of python)
-------------------------
(continuing just for kicks (wine cmd > python))
[step 4c] import gobject (works ok)
-------------------------
(Optional-Graphviz)
Graphviz ( wine msiexec /i graphviz-2.26.msi ) fails with the install program showing ["Installation Incomplete: The installer was interupted before Graphviz could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again. Click "close" to exit"] and the terminal showing:
fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"me" (nil) 0x32f160 (nil) 0x32f164 0x32f158 - stub
fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"me" 0x157138 0x32f160 0x131df8 0x32f164 0x32f158 - stub
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"SxsInstallCA" returned 1603
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"ExecuteAction" returned 1603
-------------------------
(Optional-Ghostscript)
Ghostscript ( gs864w32.exe ) (installs ok & the program starts its command line (gswin32c.exe) and display window (gswin32.exe))
-------------------------
[Additional plugins] results are:
(Spell Checking)
pyenchant-1.5.3.win32.exe (installs ok)
PyGTKSpell-2.25.3.win32-py2.6.exe (installs ok)
----
Attempting to install Gramps (fails with a wine "Program Error" box and the following identical message in the terminal from [step 4b])
wine: Call from 0x7bc4b0b0 to unimplemented function libgio-2.0-0.dll.g_emblem_get_type, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function libgio-2.0-0.dll.g_emblem_get_type called at address 0x7bc4b0b0 (thread 0020), starting debugger...
wine: Call from 0x7bc4b0b0 to unimplemented function libgio-2.0-0.dll.g_emblem_get_type, aborting
(you have to force quit the program)

Additional Comments
Note:
I suggest you try the portable windows version it is less work to setup, or just use the linux version!
(20100808 Update - Seems that the Python 2.6.x dependencies don't work that well on windows also. See My other test that uses the Python 2.5.x dependencies)
Version: 3.2.3
