@Adomy I finally have a Windows machine to test with properly. In your original post, I wonder if you had forgotten a space between the --password and --target arguments. Also, there was no need to specify so many things on the command line. Try windows_install.bat standalone --password=admin so it uses the defaults.
My testing so far has been with Python 2.7.
I have seen a problem with the way the pip command is run. It currently looks for supplied zc.buildout and setuptools packages to install. I need to test further.
The name of the extracted virtualenv directory has changed, so now the script must look for the extracted directory named pypa-virtualenv* instead.
pip install pywin32 pypiwin32 is needed

I will do some more testing and then will release an updated installer.

Hello to the community
Thank you @Kim for your response.
I just checked on the original document. I respected the space between the passord and target arguments.
It was when I changed the password to XXX ... that the space was deleted.
So all is well on that side.
I tried to launch the installation script with password = admin and without specifying the installation directory(arget arguments) to see the result.
Here's what it looks like:
“Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.18363.592]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd \
C:\>cd Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2
C:\Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2>windows_install.bat standalone --password=admin
C:\Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2>python helper_scripts\windows_install.py standalone --password=admin
File "helper_scripts\windows_install.py", line 97
print _("Creating target directory " + opt.target)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[C:\Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2](../../../../../../Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2)> “
In reality, efectively we can keep password = admin
and change it after plone is installed.
However under Windows, as we generally reserve partition C for the operating system, we are obliged to indicate
another partition to avoid trying to move after plone of its installation instance. As you know, it is never easy under Windows.
Once again thank you.
Hello community,
Thank you for all your answers.
To answer the last question of @kim, the error which referred to line 97 was made with python 3.7.5.
So I changed the default python version using version 2.7.16. I add that in the meantime, I also made the change suggested by @Yuri.
The new error message refers to line 107.
There it is :
"Microsoft Windows [version 10.0.18363.657]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.
C:\Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2>python helper_scripts\windows_install.py standalone --password=admin

vepackagedir = glob.glob(os.path.join(opt.target, 'virtualenv*'))[0]
IndexError: list index out of range "
C:\Plone-5.2.1-UnifiedInstaller-r2>
In view of the results, can we conclude that plone 5.2.1 is not yet Windows compatible as well with python 2 as with python 3?
Thank you in advance for your help.
No, I’m certain Plone works fine. The issue is the installer because it is having to do extra to set up the Python and other requirements in ways that are unfamiliar to us. Today I am not working but I will continue to work on this
Hello,
Thank you @Kim for the confirmation.
Now we know that with equivalent configuration, we have the same error messages. The error is therefore reproducible.
As Adomy, I got the same error message:
.
.
.
File "helper_scripts\windows_install.py", line 107, in
vepackagedir = glob.glob(os.path.join(opt.target, 'virtualenv*'))[0]
IndexError: list index out of range "
.
.
Has it something to do where the python directories are stored?
Thanks for your help!
