Some things that I should clear up:
1. A Windows installation doesn't necessarily need to have a user specific path variable. Thus it is possible that GTK and Python will be the only paths in your path variable after installation of the fpdb environment.
2. The following happens during path variable update:
A. The installer copies the current path variable into a new registry key named "PathBackup". You can see "PathBackup" in the Environment variables after installation.
B. The installer reads the environment variable "path" and overwrites it with itself AND the paths of GTK and Python.
It is very improbable that the installer deletes the content of the user variable and only inserts the paths of GKT and Python.
3. The purpose of the semicolon (
in the path variable is to separate the different paths. It is NOT a problem if 2 or more semicolons appear one after each other. But if a semicolon is missing between two paths and these paths become useless (the melt into one nonexisting path. Because of this the appending of GTK and Python to the path starts with a semicolon - to ensure that the path of GTK is separated from the last path of the old path variable.
4. The fpdb password in the default.conf file does not need to be changed after installation. The installer writes the default.conf file and uses the fpdb poker database password which the user provides at the beginning of the installation.
@ all people who expierience problems with fpdb and/or the installer
It would be very nice of you to use the fpdb sourceforge support forums located here:
https://****************/forum/?group_id=226872
You need to register a sourceforge account to post in the forum. This is free and takes only a few minutes.
In this forum we can have seperate threads for different people with different problems. This way problems can be solved faster and easier.
@ all people whose fpdb seems to not be able to connect to mysql
1. Click Start -> Run. Type cmd.exe and hit enter. (the command line window appears)
2. Type the following and hit ENTER: cd "%programfiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysql.exe" --user=fpdb --password=<yourpassword>
(Exchange <yourpassword> with the fpdb poker database password you have chosen at the beginning of the environment installation.)
3. Please post what the command line said after you typed in the line and pressed ENTER

So I think I have the DB thing fixed. I have been trying to use the bulk import with a few hands, but I don't know if it is actually working. Additionally, none of the viewers seem to work at all (I believe the several I tried came up with an unimplemented in the command window).
As for the viewers:
Tableviewer works, but only with MySQL. The thing is that that was only intended as a stopgap measure until I write a HUD - then ero joined with his HUD
So it's kind of obselete now, and I'm reluctant to spend any time on it since it's just a less flexible and less useful replacement for the HUD. It can also only display a much smaller amount of different stats than the HUD.As of git90 we now have a profit graph as well, that'll be in alpha5 too.
And finally the most important one is the HUD, which should work, but on PS only. If that's not working for you please check the command prompt for an error message, there should be one. Did you rename and edit HUD_config.xml.example? The exact details of this have been posted a couple of times in this thread pls have a look further down or PM me.
The other viewers are marked "todo" because doing these has not even been started yet.
And cheers for the feedback and help everyone
By now more than half a dozen people contributed code or webparts, and the feedback is also very valuable but I won't waste my time counting it
Sorry so many people are having problems but that's what alphas are for - finding and solving these problems
Finally someone asked about the database name and user name - if you used the installer then both of these are fpdb. If you set it up manually it is whatever you picked, the default (what is written on the instructions as well) is also fpdb.

Can you run from a command line and tell us what error you get when fpdb tries to start? In general, go to the start menu and select the command line (you might have to look for it--it is the black icon with C:\> in it). Then cd to the fpdb folder. Type python fpdb and see what prints.
People can then just c/p the logfile here, saves some hassle in debugging

Since the "can you run it from command line" comes up a lot, maybe it's useful to redirect the stderr (and maybe stdout) to a logfile: http://diveintopython.org/scripts_an...ut_stderr.html
