Question #81134 on GASP Core changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/gasp-core/+question/81134

Kasey requested for more information:
I was having the same problem.  So I tried running the installer.  When
I ran the installer under Vista, it would give me 3 errors during
installation.  "Could not create:  gasp-py2.6"; "Could not set key
value: Python 2.6 gasp-0.3.2"; and "C:\Python26\Removegasp.ext" -u
"C:\Python26\gasp-wininst.log".  After a while, I tried running the
installer with admin privileges and it didn't give me those error
messages.

However, now when I try to run a simple program using GASP, I get an
endless sequence of console errors and efforts to open a window and the
window closes.  Here is the text of the script I was trying to run:

from gasp import *

begin_graphics()

Line((200,100),(100,300))

update_when('key_pressed')

end_graphics()

I'm wondering if the problem with not getting GASP to work has to do
with gtk+.  I'm guessing that because the instructions for installing
gasp said this:

BEGIN QUOTE:  
3. Microsoft Windows

There is an .EXE installer for GASP which can be downloaded from launchpad.net. In order for GASP to work, you must install the following packages first: 
PyGTK
PyCairo
PyGObject
GTK+

END QUOTE

Now, PyGTK, PyCairo, and PyGObject all have installers that are .exe and
ran without issue on my system.  The GTK+ didn't have that kind of
installer.  Not knowing which gtk+ to download, I downloaded the 23mb
bundle with everything and followed the readme instructions to:

Then add the bin folder to your PATH. Make sure you have no other
versions of GTK+ in PATH. Run:
    pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
and verify that it prints out something reasonable. Run:
    gtk-demo
and verify that it works.

The gtk-demo works fine on my system. The path only has one reference to
the bin folder of GTK+.
