Issue #1582: Pyfa not starting
Created: 2018-05-15T20:21:25Z
Bug Report
Everytime I update my pyfa and start it up it keeps giving C library errors.

I also get this pop-up 4 times in a row when I press OK.
Expected behavior:
Just starting pyfa.
Actual behavior:
Giving errors about not able to load the C library
Detailed steps to reproduce:
Not sure. I just started pyfa using pyfa after I updated it.
(Note: I even uninstalled the old pyfa's and then reinstalled the new version using the .exe installer.)
Fits involved in EFT format (Edit > To Clipboard > EFT):
None
