Again, there's a win32 exe installer available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyvi...2.exe/download

If your account is a standard user and the installer doesn't load a UAC prompt, you'll probably have to right-click it and choose to "Run as administrator".

Aaaaahhhhhh... now we are getting somewhere. I had the wrong version.
Ok, let me try accessing a simple instrument.

Ok, I have the correct version. I can run "from visa import *" and get
no error. How ever when I run this command I get and error:

My_Instrument = instrument("GPIB::5")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Rivetmr/MyPythonScripts/My_GPIB.py", line 2, in
<module>
my_instrument = instrument("GPIB::5")

VisaIOError: VI_ERROR_INTF_NUM_NCONFIG: The interface type is valid
but the specified interface number is not configured.

My instrument is on GPIB 5 and I can do a *IDN? with another program
and get a response. So I must still have something not configured
correct. Getting closer though :)
