I am unable to run lima from my fresh Windows install after taking care of the dependencies which are if I recall correctly Python 3 with PATH enabled and QT.
I am getting the "This application failed to start because no QT platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the app may fix this problem"
limaqt
I just reinstalled a fresh QT 5.11, and have reinstalled Lima over and over, cleaning registries entries and using the bundled uninstaller.
I'm pretty sure I messed up on the installing process, so here is what I have been through so far:
-Installed Python 3 and set it to PATH
-Installed QT5.11 and an older 5.11 afterwards to see if it was just a version error
-Fetched files from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kleag/lima/build/artifacts and https://github.com/aymara/lima/releases/tag/20181029184208-fb5b10d0 and it failed on both installs.
I understand the split between having an install with/without GUI, but I don't understand what the 4 install files are for.
I probably got lost between the wiki and user manual on the installation process.

I confirm the problem. It appears that the packaging for Windows is incomplete.
I'm working on it.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
In the meantime, the program analyzeText is usable (if adding python34.dll, see issue #79 ).

I will be testing analyzeText out in the meantime, thanks for the temporary workaround!

The problem is finally solved. It has been way more complicated than expected.
The LIMA GUI starts and works to analyze text entered in the window.
But note that the "Analyze file" button do not work. I will open a specific issue for this problem.
Please test and reopen it it does not work for you.

It seems that it does not always work. Reopening for later analysis.
