Replaced directory with full download files from sourceforge. Launching fails.

    This may be fixed now. It helps work out where the problem is to mention which file was downloaded. If you are on Windows XP then the 32-bit download will be needed.

    Neil,

    Windows 10 64 bit latest build has this problem. Now it is posted on the scite full download as well besides the sourceforge site. And even that one has the same problem.

    Hangs for sometime and shuts down.
    Some time just hangs and after you kill it it repeats this cycle.

      So, wscite501.zip?

      Both wscite501.zip and Sc501.exe from downloads work for me on Windows 10.0.19042.867. There's a Windows Defender popup to click through but after that they work

      In case there is a problem with non-default settings, try backing up then emptying your user options and Lua startup script if any.

    It is this SciTEUser.properties causing the problem.

    Found the error in the line that sets the lua script

    Lua script

    ext.lua.startup.script=C:\MyScripts\SciTE\MyStartup.lua

    commenting it

    Lua script

    ext.lua.startup.script=C:\MyScripts\SciTE\MyStartup.lua

    fixes it.

    technology=2
    font.quality=3

    does not work so set it to defaults

    technology=1
    font.quality=0

    and now it is working!!

    Settled on
    technology=1
    font.quality=3
