Can somebody clarify what happens after the bolded virtualenv venv command. The venv \ Scripts \ pip install -r requirements.txt

returns the following error message:

'venv' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

--- below is the full instruction from desper:

Install Virtualenv by running pip install virtualenv

Download the sent and unzip to the directory C: \ sentinel (you can specify another, but for example here it will be this one)

We execute in the directory C: \ sentinel

virtualenv venv
venv \ Scripts \ pip install -r requirements.txt <--- executing command this shows the result in the venv error message

Editing sentinel.conf by specifying the path to monacoCoin.conf in the monacoCoin_conf parameter.

Create a C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.bat file with the following content:
@echo off
set HOME =.
cd C: \ sentinel
C: \ sentinel \ venv \ Scripts \ python C: \ sentinel \ bin \ sentinel.py
Create a C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.vbs file with the following content:
Install WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr (34) & "C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.bat" & Chr (34), 0
Install WshShell = Nothing
This intermediate vbs-script is needed in order to not open the console window when executing through the task scheduler.

We add the action C: \ sentinel \ sentinel.vbs to the task scheduler (Control Panel -> Administration -> Task Scheduler -> Create Task ...)
Trigger indicate "Daily", repeat the task 1 min.

Have you tried the official sentinel instructions at https://github.com/monacocoin-net/sentinel ?
I ask as it has a simpler set of instructions to install sentinel and get it working.

The simpler set of instruction is for Linux. I am asking for Windows.

Installing Sentinel on Windows

It is assumed that the first steps to install the masterware have already been completed before installing Sentinel.

Download and install Python 2.7.x from here https://www.python.org/downloads/
Add C: \ Python27 and C: \ Python27 \ Scripts to the PATH environment variable. (System Properties -> Environment Variables)

Install PIP - https://pip.pypa.io/...-to-install-pip.
For this you need to download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py and run python get-pip.py in the same directory.
Other ways to install PIP on Windows: http: //stackoverflow...pip-on-windows

Install Virtualenv by running pip install virtualenv

at first do it!!!!!!!!!!

Did all of that- doesnt work. I dont think the Monoeci team got it to work either. If you could include step-by-step screenshots, that would really help.

I have yet to see a single post from a member who got a Masternode working in Windows, using this instruction to install Sentinel.

So yelling at me wont make the instructions work.

But thank you for your help. At least you tried.

You may also want to check that nonworking stack overflow link.

I'm the creator of this instruction for windows and it works fine for me, most likely you are doing something wrong
