Hi kksou and Vadi,
Thanks for your responses.
I now have Glade-3 working on Windows XP SP2.
I successfully took Vadi's suggestion downloading from:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe
Points of interest:
1. This download now simplifies the Glade-3 installation procedure, using just the one self-extracting exe mentioned above.
2. The download file name suggests version 'gtk-dev-2.12.9', but the Glade IDE 'help about' displays Version 3.4.3.
3. There is no glade-2.exe in this download, only the glade-3.exe, which is working.
4. The default property for the initial window in my first application was 'visible=no'. I thought the application wasn't working, but (as you would expect) when I set 'visible=yes' there it was !!!
Thanks again.
Neil.
