 Pyhoca is written in python and the gui is written in wxpython. Currently due to problems with the winrandom package, it is only possible to generate a 32 bit version of pyhoca. When installing, please keep the order given here
+===== System Preparations =====

-(easy install should be executed from the windows commandline!)
+<note>gevent 1.0rc3 is currently specified because is is the last gevent release with a windows installer.</note>
+PyHoca-GUI uses one of the below freezers (i.e. tools to generate a pyhoca-gui.exe plus programme/data folder):
+  * bbfreeze (default) c:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install --always-unzip bbfreeze
+  * py2exe             http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/
+<note>easy install should be executed from the windows commandline!</note>
+<note important>There is an issue with MediaWiki and how double dashes are rendered. For now, do not copy and paste the arguments for paramiko and wmi. Type them manually. You need 2 dashes before "always" and 1 dash before "unzip"</note>
+==== Obtaining an X-Server for Windows (optional) ====
 One of the following X-servers (actually VcXsrv is your way to go here!!! However, its core files are included in pyhoca-contrib.git, see below).

+==== Cloning the PyHoca related Git repositories ====
 After installation download the current code base by starting the git-bash shell and type
@@ Line 34: / Line 53: @@
   * %%git clone git://code.x2go.org/pyhoca-contrib.git%%
-This can best be done in the MingW32 shell that comes with the Git package. Note that pyhoca-contrib contains all complete packages and therefor is about 500 MB.
+This can best be done in the MingW32 shell that comes with the Git package. Note that pyhoca-contrib.git contains quite an amount of binary data/files. Its cloning can take a while.
+===== Test-Running PyHoca =====
+==== Adding Python to $PATH ====
+After having all installers download and installs and the Git working copies are in place, make sure the Git Bash has the python shell in its $PATH:
+<code bash>
+# presuming that you installed Python 2.7 to C:\Python27
+PATH=$PATH:/c/Python27
+</code>
+==== Installing Python X2Go ====
+Then make sure that Python X2Go is properly installed in a non-egg'ish way:
+<code bash>
+$ cd python-x2go && python setup.py install_lib && python setup.py install && cd -
+</code>
+If you want to install a special version of Python X2Go, use '''git checkout'' to get a specific version:
+<code bash>
+$ cd python-x2go && git checkout <the-version-you-want> && cd -
+</code>
+A list of available versions can be listed with ''git tag'' executed in the ''python-x2go'' directory.
+==== Choosing the PyHoca-GUI Version ====
+Before testing/building PyHoca-GUI, you may want to choose the version of PyHoca-GUI to use, use ''git checkout'' to get a specific version:
+<code bash>
+$ cd pyhoca-gui && git checkout <the-version-you-want> && cd -
+</code>
+A list of available versions can be listed with ''git tag'' executed in the ''pyhoca-gui'' directory.
+If you want to test/build bleeding edge code,  build PyHoca-GUI from the master branch.
+As the development of PyHoca-GUI is closely entangled with the development of Python X2Go, for bleeding edge code it is recommended to use the master branches of both projects.
+<code bash>
+$ cd python-x2go && git checkout master && cd -
+$ cd python-x2go && python setup.py install_lib && python setup.py install && cd -
+$ cd pyhoca-gui && git checkout master && cd -
+</code>
+==== Launching PyHoca-GUI from the Cmdline ====
+A test launch of PyHoca-GUI can now be done with this command:
+<code bash>
+$ cd pyhoca-gui
+$ ./pyhoca-gui --start-xserver --lang=<your-lang-shortcut>
+</code>
+(... where <your-lang-shortcut> can be de, nl, da, etc.). If the ''--lang'' parameter is omitted, the application will run in English.
+===== Building the Windows Installer Setup =====
+To build a MS Windows Installer (32-bit) of PyHoca-GUI, run the following command:
+<code bash>
+$ cd pyhoca-gui
+$ python setup.py build_exe
+</code>
