I made another release, 2.5.4, that should fix the 'dust' issue.
excuse me but how are we supposed to update this electrum sh*t? to uninstall the old one and download the new one or.. ?
So I downloaded from https://electrum.org/#download THAT -> "Install Electrum-2.5.3.zip" and inside there was no .exe file or something like that. Could you please guys explain why is it so complicated and why cannot a man download a file/rar and then run it and then just get into his wallet...
I cannot send anything because of DUST or some other sh*t and I cannot run the new version so... GREAT WALLET thums up !!!! .........

Are you using Windows?
If you want to install the program download the Windows installer: electrum-2.5.3-setup.exe.
The zip file contains the python sources that you would need to run with a local python installation.
Thanks, I am going to try this update. Hopefully it will work under Windows XP. Will update this thread regardless.

Good job thomas , I just wanted to know , can we give suggestions for electrum and you add them ? Because I already contacted you about few important suggestions before however you never replied to me , so I'm not sure where to post them .
Hopefully
Though I still think it is not enough.
We should have like a pop up window with a big red exclamation mark telling them the importance.
Code:
* installwizard: do not allow direct copy-paste of the seed
will make people more aware of the importance of the seed.Though I still think it is not enough.

medUSA then I'm not so sure about it :/ You will get faster answer on Github since it's a technical issue .
What version are you using ? I saw ThomasV post somewhere and the error seems to be the same , he just asked the person to upgrade his wallet to the latest version . (which is 2.5.2 now)
I got this error when I tried to open on Ubuntu 15.10:

I'm using the latest one. The problem seemed to be related to the Ubuntu upgrade to 15.10.
I tried to run another pyqt to see if the same error happen. It didn't. However, when I tried run electrum after that, it worked! Weird. But it's ok now.

Python is a programming language , and Electrum is written on Python so you will have to download it if you want to get this working , same goes for Multibit HD for example , it's written in Java so you will have to download Java if you want to get it working .
The "electrum-2.5.2-setup.exe" has python files included. Electrum should run right off the bat after installation without the need to install python separately. The same downloaded setup file installs fine on my other Windows 7 computer and not on a Windows XP notebook. That same notebook has been running Electrum from 1.9 to 2.3.2 without problems for a long time. Even Core runs fine on that notebook.
I have been using Electrum 2.3.2 for a long time. I have no issues with it. Because of the "Low-S values", I need to upgrade my Electrum. I downloaded 2.5.2 setup.exe for windows and it failed to start, saying something about "settings are wrong and need to reinstall". I tried 2.5.1 and it's the same.
I found this thread about "Electrum 2.4.4 and higher crushes at start on WinXP SP3 x86":
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/electrum-244-and-higher-crushes-at-start-on-winxp-sp3-x86-1219257
I also have Electrum on WindowsXP. I believe this is a known problem. There is a solution suggested in the above thread. I could install this "python" and download the python version of Electrum. But this is not I want to do for long term. Is Electrum going to drop support for Windows XP, or this is just a temporary glitch and will be fixed in later versions?
Thanks!

I think you are confusing the portable version electrum-2.5.1-portable.exe with the Windows installer electrum-2.5.1-setup.exe. Windows installer will store electrum data locally in %appdata% portable does not. Portable version can be installed and run from a USB drive or in an encrypted container and will not write to the host computer.
No, I know the difference between the two, just thought I will try the Windows installer if the portable still did not want to work. Been running the portable since version 1.9.8 from a USB. I however think it might be the 'older' data files as mentioned. Will clear it all out just now and let it download everything again and see if that sorts it out.
EDIT: Not sure what the problem was yesterday when trying to send. Just tried to send quickly before deleting all the files and transaction went through without a problem. So portable 2.5.1. working fine now.
I ran the new 2.5.1 .exe on my Windows 7 system. It ran my Trezor based wallet and it ran my software wallet. I also ran this version on my Windows 8 system, testing it with my Trezor and it worked OK. I did message signing tests and sending tranactions with the Trezor.
Looks good! Thanks, Thomas!

Which 2.5.1 did you run, the one Thomas posted earlier i.e. the test one or the electrum-2.5.1-portable.exe ?
Just want to check because if it was the portable one then something must be wrong with my setup. Just tried sending from it again and nothing happens when I press on the send button.

This is a Windows installer, not a portable version. (I can confirm that it runs on two of my systems using Trezor, but these systems had previously installed, Python Trezor,Cython, Libusb etc... which I did not uninstall, so it is conceivable that these images might not run on a plain vanilla Windows.)
I sent and received funds on my Windows 7 installation using a software wallet and a Trezor wallet. All four combinations worked. Also, I verified that sending funds to a payment protocol request works.

Thanks for the feedback. I have not tried sending again with the portable version, will a little later. If it does not work I'll go for the setup.exe file and see whether that works. Seems like it might just be something on my pc as it works for others so might just have to download it again.
Could possibly also be the older data files. I just dropped the exe into the folder where my 'older' Electrum ran from. Should maybe just clear out everything and start it up in a clean folder so that it can download its own files from scratch.

I have no problems sending or receiving with Electrum 2.5.1 portable. Clear enough? Try again, delete and reinstall from a fresh download.
Your installation must be corrupted. The true portable 2.5.1 works fine for me and does not save files to %AppData%
I did not say the portable had a bug due it saving files to the AppData folder, not sure where you read that. I posted earlier on that the portable worked just fine in that context.
Checked for updated files about 15 min ago and spotted the updated binaries in the downloads section.
Busy downloading now, will test and post results.
Once again, thanks for the effort to get us all onto the latest version of Electrum
EDIT: Just checked everything quickly and it all seems 100%. Portable version works as it should making use of the data files in the same folder. Trezor working fine.

My problem was with the fact that I could not send any funds, as posted earlier. Have you sent any funds making use of the 2.5.1 portable version? Does it work for you? When I click on 'Send' nothing happens.
