Version 4.5.0 Wont start after update about git-cola

[pkzc]

Same issue here, except when started from a terminal, it reports "ImportError: No Qt bindings could be found".
In pkgs\PyQt5_init_.py there are references to \Qt5\bin directory and to Qt5Core.dll file in that directory, but they are missing under the Qt5 directory. In the case of 4.4.1, there is no such anomaly.
I guess some packages are missing from the distribution, and the missing part must be quite big at that: the zip distribution file of 4.4.1 was 39.6 MB, while the 4.5.0 file is a mere 23.8 MB.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's good to know that this is just an issue with the installer. The main things that changed from last time are in 41f63a8

We upgraded to Python 3.11 (instead of 3.7) and updated the PyQt version. In theory it could have been either of those two changes.

Does anyone here have a Windows machine where they can run ./contrib/win32/run-pynsist.sh (after installing pynsist)? That's the script that builds the installer.

I'll start looking into this from the installer side to see if there's something else in the build process that might've changed.

I see you're on Windows 10. These issues might be related:
takluyver/pynsist#195
takluyver/pynsist#176
takluyver/pynsist#225

The last issue is interesting ~ it contains a compatibility matrix that suggests that maybe I should stick to Python 3.7.9 (for now).

It's also noteworth that Python 3.8 and newer dropped support for older (Vista) Windows versions. I'm going to try the versions listed there.

[davvid]

I uploaded a new installer. The file size is much larger now and I've pinned down to previously-known good versions so this should do it for now. I'll probably try Python 3.8 later, but for now we should be good to go.

Please test out the latest installer and let me know if this is all good on your end now.

The new installer does work for me on windows 10. It also works on my windows 11 machine. Thank You

[pkzc]

It works for me, too, thanks.
