I'm trying to get Dwarf Companion to work (As I am a notorious cheater), but it won't start up.

I downloaded Python 2.6.4 for Windows, gtk-2.10.11-win32-1.exe, and rebooted my computer. When I try and run dfcompanion_prototype.exe, and all that happens is a command prompt opens and closes instantly. I can read it really fast, and see at the end it says 'can't guess offsets if not PE'. Anyway to get it to work?

Wasn't there a couple other things you needed to download?
*read wiki page*
Alright, you need PyCairo, PyGObject, and PyGTK. You can get them from here.

Are you running the right version of Dwarf Companion?  When DF version 40d16 came out it broke Dwarf Companion.  Make sure you've got the latest version of the DC code.  I'm not sure if the self-packaged executable works with 40d16.

Im using python 2.6.4 though, I shouldn't need the other downloads. It says you only need it for python 2.4

Yeah, well, wherever it says that is dead wrong.
You need them.  Period.
Unless you're using the self-contained executable.

I have a similar issue. I have all the other things installed (GTK, PYCairo, etc.), and when I click it, it simply opens a black window for a moment and closes. So I tried to run it through the command prompt, and it comes up with the following error:

Code: [Select]

C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress>dfcompanion_prototype.py
Timestamp = 0x48c330df
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress\dfcompanion_prototype.py", line 409, in <module>

DFcmp = DFcompanion()
File "C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress\dfcompanion_prototype.py", line 353, in __init__

self.dd = dwarfdbg(verbose=True)
File "C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress\dwarfdbg.py", line 131, in __init__
self.configoffsets()
File "C:\Games\Dwarf Fortress\dwarfdbg.py", line 89, in configoffsets
raise "can't guess offsets if not PE"
TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not str
What does this mean? How do I fix it? Did I do something stupid and obvious to mess it up?

Edit: Just tried it with the self-packaged executable version, too. Similar error message:

Code: [Select]

Again, wtf. Haha. 

Oh, and I had DF running both times.

Double post, sorry.

I too, am having this issue.  Is it being addressed? does  Bartavelle know of it?

[Quixote]

Resolve by using the correct version. I used v16 of the exe and that worked fine.
