According to the screenshot some DLL cannot be found. Please make sure, that the Python interpreter used to install eric is the same used to install PyQt5, QScintilla and sip.

I get a "Sorry, please install PyQt5" message when running "python install.py" even though PyQt5 is already installed. Environment: - Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit - Python 3.5.2 - Qt 5.80 Steps taken: - Installed Qt 5.80. - Installed QScintilla via "pip install QScintilla"; this installed dependencies sip & PyQt5. - Ran "python install.py" from the directory into which the eric6 download was unzipped.
