Problem creating new test in latest Windows version

[Kevin White]

Hello,

I'm a new QMTest user and am having a problem creating a new test case from
the GUI menu.  I've searched the archives and haven't seen any discussion of
a similar problem.

When I attempt to create a test case (Windows 2000), I receive the following
error:

Exception type: qm.common.PythonException

Exception value: The extension class 'command.ExecTest' could not be found.
You may need to set the 'QMTEST_CLASS_PATH' environment variable.

    import pywintypes

Setting the abovementioned environment variable inside qmtest.bat doesn't
seem to help either.  When I execute 'qmtest extensions', here is the
output:

C:\Program Files\QM\bin>qmtest extensions
** Available test classes **

  No description available: could not load class.

  No description available: could not load class.

  Check that the specified Python code raises an exception.

  Resource class to manage a temporary directory.


** Available database classes **

- xml_database.XMLDatabase

  A database representing tests as XML files in a directory tree.


** Available target classes **

- serial_target.SerialTarget

  A target that runs tests in serial on the local machine.

- thread_target.ThreadTarget

  A target implementation that runs tests in local threads.

- process_target.ProcessTarget

  No description available: could not load class.

- rsh_target.RSHTarget

  No description available: could not load class.

For some reason, it can't load the command module and I'm not sure why.  It
exists in the same directory as some of the other modules that load just
fine, and command.ExecTest has an entry in classes.qmc.  I believe Python is
correctly setup on my machine since I use it for other programs.

Note, this works without problem on my RedHat 8.0 box...
