Thread:Extension talk:VisualEditor/VisualEditor does not load (REL 1.23)/reply (2)

The documentation to get Parsoid up and running on a Windows system was a horrible mess, it contained omissions, unclearities and despair-inducing pitfalls. After briefly considering suicide to lessen the pain caused by this unhuman horror, I decided instead to fix the most glaring problems of the documentation in the vain hope that others might be spared this dire fate.

I have now Parsoid up and running - testing it on localhost:8000 shows me the Parsoid interface.

However, VisualEditor is still a no-show on my system.

As I have 1.24 version of the MediaWiki software, I have not installed the Parsoid extension - is that correct? And do I need to set something like "require_once" for the build-in Parsoid extension?

I fear I'm going to die alone and unloved, never having seen VisualEditor working on my system...
