Script not working unable to determiner why, looks likes something to do with /usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py

[fr1tzz]

Trying to get this to work on my Debian testing/buster machine with Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64

$ python --version
Python 2.7.16

I've tried also to install this using just the installcab.py script with manualy pointing to the files but it gives me the same error.

Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

fr1tz:python-installcab/ (master) $ ./install-mf-64.sh                                                                                                                                      [15:57:44]

Done!
Now you need to get mfplat.dll version 12.0.7601.23471 from elsewhere and place it in your application directory

[tonix64]

You might need to install python-xml package for your distro.

[tonix64]

actually looking at the backtrace looks like it doesn't find the extracted manifest xml files from the cabinet for some reason.

you could try printing file_path in the line before

reg_data, arch = process_manifest(file_path)

and figure out what path it's showing and why it's not finding it.
