I got python installed correctly now! thank you Bar!
But.....(heavy sigh) when i click on gurm says the path is wrong....I have looked at it 20 times and cannot figure out whats wrong....I am not going to give up....but I may be bald by the time I get this right....I have never felt so dumb in my whole life...thing is I know how to do these things...but for whatever reason this one is giving me hell.

After downloads?????????

Okay I have everything installed....gurm is there...python is there...I even found gurm under the filters tab....

I keep getting errors....gurm.ini not found...(same errors as draconian posted) Here are my gurm.ini and gurm.py:

GURMINI = "C:\Users\trace\gimp-2.6\plug-ins\gurm.ini"

[Brush Manager]
useManager = yes
gimpPath = C:\Users\trace\.gimp-2.6\brushes
userPath = C:Users\trace\Documents\Extra Gimp Brushes
extensions = .gbr,.vbr,.gih,.abr,
installedOptions =

[Gradient Manager]
useManager = no
gimpPath = C:\Documents and Settings\<Your windows user>\<your gimp version>\gradients
userPath = <Your Path>
extensions = .ggr,.svg,
installedOptions =

[Palette Manager]
useManager = no
gimpPath = C:\Documents and Settings\<Your windows user>\<your gimp version>\palettes
userPath = <Your Path>
extensions = .gpl,
installedOptions =

[Pattern Manager]
useManager = no
gimpPath = C:\Documents and Settings\<Your windows user>\<your gimp version>\patterns
userPath = <Your Path>
extensions = .pat,.jpg,.png,.tiff,.bmp,.gif,
installedOptions =

[Script Manager]
useManager = no
gimpPath = C:\Documents and Settings\<Your windows user>\<your gimp version>\scripts
userPath = <Your Path>
extensions = .scm,
installedOptions =

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have triple checked the paths.....what now??

I would say



missing . should be "C:\Users\trace\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins\gurm.ini"




missing \ should be C:\Users\trace\Documents\Extra Gimp Brushes
but still very dubious. You should be using a dedicated Gurm folder. I keep mine in with my local folders, but it could be anywhere convenient.

A screen shot for reference. It is XP but the principle is the same.

Thank you Rich! I made the changes and it still doesn't work...still says can't find gurm.ini

What do you mean by a dedicated gurm folder?

Going back to your first post your profile says you are using Win XP SP3, the above is for a Vista/Win 7 installation - which one is it?

A dedicated gurm folder, well, just my sense of tidyness, never a good idea to use 'Documents' for something like this and avoid spaces in folder/file names like the plague. If you need to separate a name use an underscore or a dash (not a dot which the windows comunity has taken from linux)

0.o

I have vista home premium

Ok, I have a Win7 32 bit in a virtual machine (closest I have to Vista). I will do an installation from scratch and see what comes up.

Have a look at this and see if you can glean anything. Installing on a Win7 machine

I have used the most recent python 2.6 files which you can get from ( if you do not have them already)
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6.msi
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries ... -py2.6.msi

Can't really find any problems, just got to be careful with the paths and folders.

Rich! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU~!

The problem was: used comp....user name was changed but the path wasn't comp could not find the gurm.ini cause the path was changed!

Your video was superb!

Thanks again!
