I asked a new user to try the setup/install process with no help just using wiki and how to's and he was unable to install/setup Tahoe-lafs. Pywin32 instructions are missing but required for windows.

tahoe-lafs added this to the undecided milestone 2014-06-24 18:10:05 +00:00

This is a duplicate of #142 (pywin32 can't be installed with setuptools) combined with #2028 (Twisted endpoints introduce a dependency on pywin32). That is: the bug isn't that this dependency is undocumented in the install instructions, the bug is that this dependency isn't automatically resolved like the other dependencies are. That said, if it turns out that we can't remove this dependency entirely, or make it automatically resolved, then we will indeed need to document it.

Fixing either #142 or #2028 is too hard for 1.11, so we should document it for now.

We no longer need this now that #2028 is fixed.

Reopening because this is the simplest short-term way of dealing with the fact that Magic Folder depends on Twisted >= 15.2.0, which depends on pywin32.

We now depend on pypiwin32, and pip installs it correctly on windows, so I think we can close this one again.
