I am having difficulty installing / establishing the path for the Swish-e filters!
I have followed all available documentation - however I am still having trouble defining the path to the bin library.
I am running a local installation...
The library of bin filters is installed at:
c:\wamp\www\SWISH-E\bin

What would the absolute path to this directory be???
This is running on a vanilla wamp server configuration on my pc.

I thought it would be:
/wamp/www/SWISH-E/bin

Everytime I attempt to save the configuration I get the following error:

* swish_path does not exist or is not executable
* catdoc_path does not exist or is not executable
* xls2csv_path does not exist or is not executable
* ppthtml_path does not exist or is not executable
* pdftotext_path does not exist or is not executable
* unrtf_path does not exist or is not executable

Each of the filters has its own entry
Swish-E Path: *
The absolute path of the swish-e binary.

Microsoft Word Filter Path:
The absolute path of the Microsoft Word filter.

Microsoft Excel Filter Path:
The absolute path of the Microsoft Excel filter

Microsoft Powerpoint Filter Path:
The absolute path of the Microsoft Excel filter

PDF Filter Path:
The absolute path of the PDF filter.

RTF Filter Path:
The absolute path of the Rich Text Format filter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I ran into this problem as well. What fixed it for me was to put not only the full path

C:\wamp\www\SWISH-E\bin

but also to add the ".exe" onto the end of the filter name, i.e.

C:\wamp\www\SWISH-E\bin\pdftotext.exe
