Thread: _psycopg.vc9.x86.manifest

Hi
This is my first mail in this mailing list and it's a very primitive question!
I'm trying to "pip install psycopg2" on my windows7 msvc9 machine and
it give me this:

.

.
running build_ext

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\mt.exe -nologo -manifest psycop
g\_psycopg.vc9.x86.manifest -outputresource:build\lib.win32-2.6\psycopg2\_psycop
g.pyd;2

psycopg\_psycopg.vc9.x86.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and p
arse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified.

error: command 'mt.exe' failed with exit status 31

Any idea what's wrong? is it my fault ?!

Good news, it's not your fault :).

pip is trying to install the beta package, which was missing two files
recently introduced on the windows build.  Don't get Daniele started on
why easy_install is choosing the beta package ;).

I'm not that familar with pip, but can you force it to use a particular
version, like the current stable release of 2.3.2?  If so, you will have
better luck until we get the next release out (which is hopefully real
soon now).
