Git-cola will not work on windows

I installed git-cola using the installer for windows. I pointed to the correct git and python installations.

When I try to run git-cola nothing happens.

Is there something I'm missing here?

I had the same problem, in my case the PyQt4 library was missing. You can install PyQt4 by downloading the appropriate installer from the Binary Packages section on PyQt4 Riverbank .

How I investigated the problem

When I installed git-cola in the default directory and tried to start it using the command line

 C:\Program Files (x86)\git-cola\bin>python git-cola.pyw

I got

 Sorry, you do not seem to have PyQt4 installed. Please install it before using git-cola. eg: sudo apt-get install python-qt4

Note

I have two Python 2.7 installations, one in c:\program\Python27 , and the other in C:\Users\UserName\Anaconda2 , I used the first. I also installed Python SIP a while ago, I'm not sure if this is required by git-cola.
