This mini projects builds an executable called gnuradio-companion.py. Its goal is to aid the GNU Radio support for the PothosSDR installer.

The executable has several purposes:
- provide an executable with an icon for the start menu
- locate the python 2.7 installation path in the registry
- call gnuradio-companion.py with the python 2.7 executable
- call GnuradioHelper.py upon failure to fix setup issues
The GnuradioHelper.py script is capable of sanity checking an install and automatically installs missing python modules and the gtk+ runtime. It also sets environment variables PATH, PYTHONPATH, and GRC_BLOCKS_PATH: However, normally the installer will setup these paths automatically.
