[ome-users] Problem installing OMERO server on Windows 7 x64

[Blazej Pindelski]

> Dear list,

Hi Angelos

> I encountered the an issue while trying to install OMERO server on our new workstation, running windows 7 64-bit. I followed the instructions, but got the following error when trying to configure the omero settings from the command line. This is the command and the error:
>
> C:\omero_dist>bin\omero config set omero.db.name omero_database
> \ZeroC\Ice-3.4.2\python`) was unexpected at this time.

> When I performed the installation, I chose 64 bit versions for software where it was not explicitly stated in the instructions that had to be 32 bit (python and add-ons). After seeing the error and the list reply, I reinstalled every software using 32-bit versions. But the error is still there.

It would be good to see the output of `bin\omero admin diagnostics`.

Two things I can suggest at the current stage:
1. Try installing Ice in the root of the C:\ partition (i.e. `C:\Ice`). That way you'll get rid of any spaces in the PATH entry for Ice.
2. If you installed 64bit Python and add-ons, Ice has extra `x64` folders under \bin and \python. It might be worth using them in PATH and PYTHONPATH.
