[tahoe-dev] Windows install trouble

[Mike Nation]

Thank you!  I entered "bin\tahoe.pyscript" and that did the trick.  Windows couldn't recognize the command "bin\tahoe" because of the other file in that directory named just "tahoe" which isn't an executable.

bin\tahoe.pyscript should be an executable script, and entering "bin\tahoe" in a
Command Prompt should run that script.

If that doesn't work, please paste the output of
"c:\python27\python setup.py scriptsetup".
