Installation of OME Server 4.4.6 on Windows 2008 and Windows

[Anand]

I am using the latest versions of Ice (3.5.0), JDK (7u17), Omero server (4.4.6-ice34-b102), Postgresql (9.2), Python (3.3.0), and Pywin (32-218). As per the installation procedure I have installed Ice, JDK, Python, PostgreSQL and Pywin. I have even extracted Omero in omero.server folder. On extracting bin\omero db script, an error occurs and installation does not start.

The same error occurs on Microsoft Windows 2008 SP2 Std Edn as well as on Microsoft Windows XP Prof SP3. The error is appended below:

Please help.

Hi Jadhav,

sorry for the confusion, but OMERO does not yet support Ice 3.5, which was just released. We'll update the page to make this clearer. For the moment, you'll need to use 3.3 or 3.4.

Python 3 is also not supported, which also needs to be made clearer.

Cheers,
~Josh

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have re-installed Ice-3.4.2 and Python 2.6.6 (64-bit). On executing omero db script, following error is displayed:

What's the value of your %PATH% environment variable? Could you try the solution described here: http://lists.openmicroscopy.org.uk/pipermail/ome-users/2010-May/002270.html?
