I got through installing all the pieces in D:\paimei\docs\installation.html .  Or so I thought.

On this step:

  6. Launch IDA, load a target executable and run the pida_dump.py IDA Python script to generate a PIDA file.

I get this:

D:\paimei>pida_dump.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\paimei\pida_dump.py", line 32, in ?
    depth = AskStr("full", "Depth to analyze? (full, functions|func, basic block
s|bb)")
NameError: name 'AskStr' is not defined


I did a little searching, and I gather askstr is part of the kernwin.hpp file from the IDA SDK.  Aha, I didn't have the SDK installed, it's missing from the list of requirements.  No problem, I unpack it, and... I'm not seeing any kind of "install" step.  Near as I can tell, it's all used at compile and link time.

So, hints about what bits I files or paths I don't have in place would be appreciated.
