I installed python 2.5.2 on Windows XP. Issuing "appgen" does not work, but "python appgen" seems to work fine. Just make sure you have python in your PATH first.

Let me know what you find, please.

*** EDIT : See message below for more details ***

I did some testing with this setup:

• Windows XP


• Java 1.6.0_10


• Apache Ant 1.7.1


• Python 2.5.2

Just invoking 'appgen' does not work on Windows. I was able to make progress by issuing:

python %EDK_HOME%binappgen

(where python is in the PATH, of course). I then encountered a Windows-specific problem with the appgen program that I was able to work around. After answering the questions, I got an error like:

Code: :

WindowsError: [Error 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: 'myNewApp\\SarContent\\WEB-INF'

The error code for Windows is different from the error code for Un*x systems. I edited line 58 of appgen so that it now reads:

Code: :

if errno == 17 or errno == 183:

After this change, appgen was able to complete its work successfully.

Give this a try and let me know if it helps you. I will fix this for the next release.

Thanks!! Now it works.

Good news! Thanks for pointing out the problems under Windows...
