I have three computers: Win XP x86, Win Vista x64, Win 7 x64. All three machines kicked up:

WindowsError: [Error 267] The directory name is invalid: u'E:\\Develop\\Renpy\\renpy.py\\*.*'

after attempting to restart with the updater.

The Vista and Win7 machines restarted fine when launched manually, but the Win XP machine throws the following error every time:

Code: Select all

This machine is a laptop with an older Intel video chipset and updating drivers or replacing the video card is non-optional.

Right click on your desktop, properties, settings, and set color quality to 32 bit.

Both the laptop and Remote Desktop are set to 32-bit, but when I checked it during an RDP session it appears that something is forcing it to 16-bit, and won't give me any options for changing this. I guess this means I can't run Renpy under RDP for this system. It probably isn't much of a loss.

I typically run RDP to be able to update all my computers at once, and since I had never had problems with this before it wouldn't have occured to me to check this sort of thing.

It'll be fixed in 6.99.1 anyway. But that confirms I got the right problem.
