The system cannot find the file specified

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using Python 2.7.2 with wxPython 2.8 for 2.7.  I'm on windows 7 x64.

File "NERO/main.py", line 17, in ModTick
    common.startScript("NERO\menu.py")
File "C:\OpenNero\common\module.py", line 63, in startScript
    subproc = subprocess.Popen(['python', script])
File "C:\Python27\LIB\subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
File "C:\Python27\LIB\subprocess.py", line 893, in _execute_child
    startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

I tried the solution the anonymous person posted but no luck.  Not sure if I 
put in the right PythonPath variable.  Any suggestions?

Two suggestions:

 - there is now a win64 build, you might have more luck with that.
 - you do have to add the python directory to your Path variable (not PythonPath). You can do this by searching for Environment Variables in Control Panel, and then adding ";C:\Python27" (or whatever the actual directory is) to the PATH variable. See this page:

http://docs.python.org/using/windows.html

For more details.

Yes the python directory wasn't set right.  Thanks for the tip.  I'm not a 
regular user of Python so making clear what to do is helpful.  Thanks

OK, I will mark this as fixed. This seems by far the most common problem with 
people so far, so you are in good company =). I made an NSIS installer that 
includes the right Python and wxPython versions, but I still need to figure out 
how to make it automatically set the Path. Once I do, this should all be 
history.
