[tahoe-dev] Mount tahoe-lafs with pyfilesystem and Dokan on Windows XP

[Shu Lin]

Ovcacik,

I can mount tahoe through Dokan on one Windows 7 32bit system. But, when I tried the same script on another Windows XP or a Windows 7 64 bit. I always got "dokan library is not available problem". I did check the library path and found the dokan library I have just installed through "python setup.py install". Below is the output of my try. Could you please help me find out what's wrong?

Thanks a lot,
-Shu
