If not, you probably don't have a recent enough version of setuptools, and that's what's causing the problem.<br /><br />(If the .manifest file isn't there, you'll get a UAC request and a separate window opens. With the manifest, it should work in the same command window.)PJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688223805457202941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802292.post-64372234338604360592009-08-26T20:29:13.650-07:002009-08-26T20:29:13.650-07:00One of the first things I install (although it jus...One of the first things I install (although it just needs copying, not installing) on Windows machines is Console2 - http://console.sourceforge.net/ - a great replacement for the CMD window.<br /><br />It is very configurable and I usually set it up so that I can launch new tabs or windows with a dos shell, a cygwin shell or an iPython session simply by pressing a key combination (or selecting from a pull down menu).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11802292.post-30658028396158705062009-08-12T13:54:54.279-07:002009-08-12T13:54:54.279-07:00Hi Catherine -- glad to help!

I most often use rxvt to launch my cygwin bash shells, but you can get it run cmd.exe for you as well by setting shortcut for:<br /><br />C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exewamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793654218598579764noreply@blogger.com
