Ah. I get about 30MB of files - are you using 64bit Windows by any chance?

64 bit Windows ships the XML doc files in a different place, so 
IronPython can't find them. On the other hand you should still get PI 
files with all the types and members, just not the docstrings.

I ran through the instructions with Windows 7, IronPython 2.6 and Wing 
3.2.3 and it "worked for me". Have a look in System.pi and check it 
looks like 'sensible'. Mine is 2.3MB and starts with (docstrings omitted):

class AccessViolationException(SystemException):
   def ReferenceEquals(self, arg0, arg1):
     return bool()

class Action(MulticastDelegate):
   def BeginInvoke(self, obj, callback, object):
     return System.IAsyncResult()

etc...

Can you try creating a text file in your pi-file directory called 
Foobar.pi with the following contents:

class Foobar(object):
     "a class"
     def method(self):
         "fooble wibble"
         return in

Once you have done that, if you type the following into a Wing file:

import Foobar
Foobar.

Once you type the Foobar. then you should be offered the FooBar class 
for autocompletion. If that doesn't happen then either the directory 
isn't properly on the Wing path for autocompletion or Wing is not 
working in some way. If it does happen but the .NET autocomplete still 
doesn't work then something is wrong with the way the pi files are being 
generated.

All the best,

Michael
