OK, try this:

C:\Python22\Python.exe "c:/program files/pysol/pysol-4.80/data/PySol_22.pyc"

(Substitute your path to Python as appropriate for the Python.exe).

If you get an error message about "global name 'win32_gethomedir' is not
defined", that's because you somehow got the Linux version of PySol
instead of the Windows version. If that's the case, go here:

    http://avitous.net/software/pysol-windows/index.shtml

and download the PySol 4.81 for Windows installer. I just tried that one
five minutes ago on my Windows box and it worked just fine; that should
get you up and running.
