#54 Cannot start EasyABC in Windows 11

[Lars Wadsö]

I have been using EasyABC on my old PC that had been updated to Windows 11, but when I installed it on my new Windows 11 PC it does not run. The Windows "working circle symbol" is shown for 1-2 seconds and then disappears and nothing happens. On my previous computer the program ran like a charm after downloading... have I missed something related to Python or something else? (I have a new Python installation on the computer).

Try running it from a Windows Power Shell or Command Window and you should see all the error messages. If you are running the Python source code, you would enter
python easy_abc.py

With the Windows installation I could not see any error messages when I ran EasyABC from PowerShell (nothing happened). Now I have uninstalled EasyABC, restarted my PC and downloaded the programs from GitHub (first time using this...), successfully installed python packages:
py -m pip install -U wxPython
py -m pip install pywin32
py -m pip install pygame
py -m pip install pyparsing

But when I run python easy_abc.py from PowerShell I get the message (including an error) in the attached file.

The messages look really weird.

Try

"C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyABC\easy_abc.exe"
in your Windows Power Shell.

instead of

C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyABC> python easy_abc.py

There could be some incompatibilities with Python 3.11.
EasyABC was tested on EasyABC 3.10 which is installed on my
system. Which version of Python did you use on your old
computer?
