error while installing robot framework on ironpython - testing

Question

I'm becoming mad about installing robotframework on IronPython in a Windows machine. Please someone could take a look on this.
I have installed IronPython 2.7.7, added the path system variable for both main and Scripts folder, also I installed the elementtree-1.2.7-20070827-preview.zip as it looks that the library that comes with IronPython is "broken" (this info and instruction comes from IronPython site).
Then I run the
ipy -X:Frames -m ensurepip
to be able to use pip.
Everything should be ready now to get the robotframework installed by:
ipy -X:Frames -m pip install robotframework
The package starts getting downloaded until here:
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\***\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-vnlada\robotframework\
I tried another workaround just downloading the robotframework source, uncompressing and placing it in my program folders. From the RF folder I tried to run:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe" setup.py install
and again same error:
File "setup.py", line 11, in <module>

In this website this guy solves the issue using this last workaround, however it didnt work for me.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

This is how I resolve it, however I dont intend to say is the way to resolve it.
There are installers .exe of Robot Framework for Windows but they are not intended to be on IronPython, but Python. Keeping in mind that I already got the IronPython folder, what I did is:
install Python
downloand and install the RF installer .exe file from here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/robotframework/2.8.5
install it pointing to the Python directory (it doesnt recognize the IronPython folder)
Simply added the ipy.exe from my IronPython folder to the PATH variable.
Surprisingly it worked with no more headache, I have now Robot Framework on IronPython.
