I removed the offending environment variable pointing to the old Python version and only the newer python paths exist. I renamed the old python version folder so no program can point to it and this is the error message:

Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26)

Ok, I upgraded that folder anyway to Python v3.2.3 and this is the error message: The folder called Python25 is actually Python 32

Yeah Python can easily turn into a version hell under Windows Sad

Ok, let's force Electrum to use the correct environment:

Type this into the console (probably easier to copy-paste that):
echo ..\python27\python.exe (electrum) %WALLFILE% %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 > e.cmd

then "e" again.

Does that work any better? If yes, I will incorporate this change when I make my next build.

Ok, I renamed the python directory to its original state and electrum targets it even though I removed it from the Path variables, so I don't know what is going on here...

Ok, I removed the old python from the path variables also. Still the same error as above!

Python is such a mess! I was even thinking to learn it but now.....Ruby

I uninstalled one old python version, and changed the directory name for the other Python distribution that comes with an old version of python as standard and this is the error i get. Am I to remove the reference to the old python from the paths list in Windows also?

File "C:\Csvn\Python25\lib\socket.py", line 47, in
import _socket
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

OK, looks like we've found the root cause.
There is an old version of Python (2.5) installed on your system...
The Electrum executable normally uses its own embedded Python runtime,
but somehow that other installation of Python is conflicting with it.

If you type "set path" without the quotes in the Electrum console,
you should see if it's pointing to that old Python version.

Are you using it for anything?
If not, it's probably best to uninstall (or upgrade) it, then try Electrum again.

Hi, I'm still investigating this...

I've packed a test build that loads modules using a different method. Perhaps
that will work for you.

You can get it from here:
http://code.google.com/p/win-electrum/downloads/detail?name=elec101e2.exe

Hmmm... What if you type "python (electrum)" instead of "e"?

Hi Flatfly! I still can't get Electrum to work! This time I get no windows log errors for the latest version I just tried, its pretty mych the same thing as before......unpacking modules then an empty shadow outline for a small window. Any help! My Windows is 7 ultimate 64-bit and is nothing but a standard installation. Are there any prerequisites to running this app or is it self contained?

Hey, no there aren't any prerequisites, the app contains all the required libraries.

As for the strange issue you are having, perhaps the following could help us investigate:

Start Electrum while holding down the Shift key on your keyboard - this should open the virtual text-mode Python console. If that works, just type "e" (without the quotes) there to launch the Electrum GUI. If you get any new error messages
at this point, please let me know.

Interesting... It could be a "path" issue. Is your system language other than English?

Also, if possible, could you post the output of the following command:

dir /S | find "util"

I was doing this

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hungercoins-invest-the-odds-are-ever-in-your-favor-104630

So there was no fee attached (otherwise not worth it) I sent myself 2BTC then sent 8x0.25 and recieved all back no problems.

Did this about 12hours ago, now just cant move it anywhere.

EDIT - Just tryed again, still no luck, But then I tryed to do the whole balance back to me and it got sent!

EDIT 2 - 1BAXx8YU1DyVfKWPQNAArvJrcmHifXgEME Links to me.

I need some help please, I dowloaded v1.01 and used it great, with over 10 transactions, but now I cant move my bitcoins anywhe

The last transaction has over 60 confirmations, does not matter where I try and move or how much?

Hi,
I think that some servers will reject a transaction if the fee is extremely low - is that the case here?
Could you post more details or a screenshot about the transaction, if it's not too private?
