WindowsError: [Error 267] The directory name is invalid: u'D:\\fragrance\\game\\screens.rpy\\*.*'

there is your problem, your using an incorrect directory

the directory "u'D:\\fragrance\\game\\screens.rpg\\*.*'" is incorrect

thanks for answering ^^
although i don't really understand ><, when i open the directory's game it open the fragrance folder game,
so what does 'incorrect directory" means? should i search u'D:\\fragrance\\game\\screens.rpy\\*.*' and delete it?
now i'm using the older version of renpy the 6.13.9 version, the jeditor works, so why won't the 6.15.2 and 6.15.7 works? it's kinda wired

Try renaming *.*
As far as I know, you can use only alphanumeric characters when naming directories and files. What the newer versions of Ren'Py are doing is just to prevent you from releasing a game that will give trouble to Windows users (and I can assure you, they don't need more trouble). :)
