This is a program to extract/compile car NAV .KWI extensions. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about Python though I will love to learn some time very soon. Could you help me compile this into an executable file for windows 7?

Will be reatly appreciated.

I did try and it came up with a few errors and I have no clue what to do. Thanks.

I was able to compile it with IronPython's compiler, so I can give you that, if you don't mind it running on .NET of course.

could you send me a link to the program that runs on the NET
thanks
