( On If I understand your requirement correctly, you are trying to install this tesseractindict trainer software on Windows XP. And for that to install you might need the pre-requisite software which is tesseract-ocr. I looked at tesseract-ocr package for Windows Installer Instructions and looks like there is not any. http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/ReadMe There are two methods which are available. 1. Download the VC++ 2008 Standard Edition and Open the vcproj file and compile it. (More detailed instructions can be given or be found in the Readme) 2. Or install cygwin (www.cygwin.com) and follow the straight forward 3 step installation instructions (./configure; make; sudo make install) on cygwin shell. Installing cygwin would be an exercise in itself and you might find an online tutorial or video tutorial too. After you have installed the tesseract-ocr, you may download the .tar.gz file of tesseractindic trainer. If you followed Step 1. above,then you would only need Python 2.6 and PyGTK (Windows Installer for both the software are available and follow the straight forward Click Next methods) and you can just click on the Python Trainer file to get the software running for you. http://code.google.com/p/tesseractindic/wiki/TrainerGUI If you followed Cygwin method of installation, you will need to install Python 2.6 and PyGTK in Cygwin. Based on my experiences, I find it troublesome and more buggy. So, I would advice you against Cygwin method, especially if you are a beginner. Okay, coming to the Windows method itself, it seems that tesseract-ocr has source code for Windows, but the Training GUI wrapper and tesseractindic has no indications of Windows, so I am not really sure if it would work in windows at all, and your experiments would be any fruitful, if the end result is what you care about. If it is for learning, it would be great to try it and see the Cygwin way. Also it would be a good idea to ask in the tesseractindic mailling list, or if the AUTHOR Debayin, is in this list, he might jump in. -- Senthil Debian Hint #37: In search for some games?
