GNOPE not installing

[rubysoho]

Hi upon installing the Gnope package (on Win XP) a desktop icon to launch Gnope was created with the following path:

C:\PHP-Gtk2\php-win.exe "C:\PHP-Gtk2\lib\pear\Gnope\AppRunner\run.phpw"

When I search in "C:\PHP-Gtk2\lib\pear\" there is NO Gnope folder and upon clicking the shortcut icon nothing happens. I cannot get Gnope to start. Any help is greatly appreciated

I first had to figure out that I had to add a command line switch to the apprunner shortcut to make it look for the php.ini file in my php-gtk2 directory. Otherwise it was using my zend\core\etc\php.ini file and extensions as per the registry settings. That got rid of the extension entry point failures. But there is no gnope folder or apprunner script anywhere. Did this get left out of the php-gtk2 download?

I'm still working on these issues myself but here is a little more info. If you already have an installation on windows - such as apahce and Zend core - and you try to install the gnope download it may not work. Numerous "pop & go" errors in CLI windows are too fast and too lacking in informative help to show the problem.

If you are missing your gnope folder after the install then it is quite likely that you have a windows registry setting that php is reading to find it's ini file. During the install serveral folders fail to be created due to this issue. If you rename the registry key "IniFilePath" found in "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\" to something else during the install then gnope will install properly. You will still have the issue mentioned above with having to add the command line switch "-c path to ini" to get programs to run correctly.
