To the creators of this otherwise great software :)
When installing version with realease date 2018-01-10 from popupCAD-2018.01.10-amd64 on windows 10 64bit machine I get the follow errors when attempting to run the "popupcad.exe" in the installation folder:

followed by this:

Apologies for some parts in danish. I will be using a previous version so no haste, but it'd be great with a reason why this is happening?

Kind regards, and thank you in advance,

Can't run 2018-01-10 version when installed from msi

I have a suspicision about this bug...that it is the shortcut, not the
actual program.  Could you do me a favor, install the program again if you
unintalled it, and go to the installation folder and run popupcad?  I
suspect it will work, but need confirmation.  In that case, there is a
problem with the shortcut not supplying the right startup path.

let me know if you can do that.

thanks

to clarify: don't use the shortcut in the start menu.  go to the actual
popupcad.exe file and run that

thanks

Hi Dan, I am a bit confused because I believe that's exactly what I've been doing? I installed the msi to a folder on my desktop, go to the folder, search "popupcad.exe" and run that.

I would say the non standard install location is playing a part.  Please
try to things: Can you install to the default location and run both the
shortcut that gets installed in the start menu and the exe and tell me how
it behaves in both cases?  I suspect one or both should work

I installed to standard location and have tried running both in folder and from the generated shortcut. No luck yet.

ah ok.  Here's another question: do you have anaconda or miniconda
installed?  If not, your message makes me think there is a fixed path
somewhere in my installer.  I will check, but knowing if you have it
installed would be useful.

thanks

Yes I believe I do - I have developed in python a fair time ago. Furthermore I've installed popupcad from source following your instructions from previously.

Any update on this :)? I don't see a new msi available for download?

Thanks in advance

My ability to build popupcad right now is limited, as I have some conflicts
in my anaconda distribution.  The code itself works, though, so you could
install popupcad and run it via source.

I will be able to take a look at this soon.  In the mean time, is there a
particular feature that you need the most current version for?  There
hasn't been much change in features, just in organization of the code to
keep it updated with other packages.

thanks
