1. Download the last release,
2. Uncompress it,
3. Execute DicoGIS.exe.

If you've all dependencies installed, you can also clone this repository, edit it and create your customized executable, running:

python setup2exe_DicoGIS.py py2exe

1. Open an elevated powershell (as admin) ;
2. Ensure that you have Python to the environment path typing [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts\", "User") ;
3. Download get_pip.py and execute it: python get_pip.py ;
4. Download the repository and execute: pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper-powershell ;
5. Execute: set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned to allow powershell advanced scripts. ;
6. Create the environment: virtualenv virtenv --no-site-packages ;
7. Activate it: .\virtenv\Scripts\activate.ps1. Your prompt should have changed. ;
8. Get the dependencies, choosing between 32/64 bits versions: pip install -r requirements_32bits.txt or pip install -r requirements_64bits.txt ;
9. Assuming you have installed Python in C:\Python27, copy the tcl folder from C:\Python27\ over to the root of the new virtenv (see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30377257) to avoid this error: "This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.". You can do that from your admin powershell prompt executing: Copy-Item -Path c:\python27\tcl\* -Destination {absolute_path_to_the_folder}\DicoGIS\virtenv\tcl -recurse -Container: $true
10. For a more friendly usage, create a Windows shortcut: Right clic > New > Shortcut and insert this command replacing with the absolute paths (removing brackets): C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k "{absolute_path_to_the_folder}\DicoGIS\virtenv\Scripts\python {absolute_path_to_the_folder}\DicoGIS\DicoGIS.py"
