I'm trying to get df companion to work, for which I'm installing python, but I keep getting the following error message when I try to open companion:

"This application has failed to start because libglib-2.0-0.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I've gone through the df wiki page for companion, and installed the following programs in this order:

• Python 2.5.2 Windows installer
• glade-3.4.3-win32-1.zip
• df companion (version 0.12-any)*
• pycairo-1.4.12-1.win32-py2.5.exe
• pygobject-2.14.1-1.win32-py2.5.exe
• pygtk-2.12.1-1.win32-py2.5.exe
• pygtk-2.12.1-2.win32-py2.5.exe
• df companion*

* I installed companion first before adding the other files, and then tried re-installing everything with companion last.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?  This has me totally confused.

I got that error too at first, uninstalling everything and only installing the all-in-one and then dfcompanion made it work.

I'll try that, thanks.

Ok, so I tried uninstalling everything python and gtk related, and reinstalled:

• Python
• the GTK bundle from this site (http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html)
• gtk runtime from here (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98754)
      - the one released in april 2008, has two parts and I installed both

Now when I try to open companion, the python window appears, and then vanishes.  I clearly did something wrong, but what and how do I fix it?  Also, for the bundle, it says something about "adding the bin folder to the system path", what does that mean and how do I do it?

Instead of double-clicking companion, open up a command window (start, run, "cmd"), and run it from there.  That way the window won't immediately disappear, and you'll have a chance to read any error messages that might appear.

The following error message came up:

"ImportError: No module named gtk".

I'm moving my question to the df companion thread in "general discussion", didn't realize there was one before.
