(If you're not a developer, you can safely ignore this thread, you can simply run Electrum as an .exe)

I want to install PyQt4, which is required to run electrum in windows from python.

I get this error:

C:\Users\Owner\Anaconda2>python PyQt4/configure-ng.py
Querying qmake about your Qt installation...
Determining the details of your Qt installation...
Error: Failed to determine the detail of your Qt installation. Try again using
the --verbose flag to see more detail about the problem.

Do you have SIP installed? ( https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download )

This looks to be a prerequisite and if you don't have it installed, it could be causing the issue.

Yes I do have it. SIP

maybe found a clue though:  I read on a forum it may be 32bit vs 64bit incompatibility... i will check this. thanks for looking!
