Failed to launch editra

#1 Post by Lovebird » Sun Sep 27, 2015 12:07 am

Hi,
The last time I tried opening my script I kept getting the error message:
Failed to launch editra.
So I redownloaded Ren'py and it was working well. But now I'm getting the same message I again. :(

If you go into the editra directory and double click editra.exe, what happens?

I've had this happen to me before too. When it does, I just close Editra then attempt to launch it from Ren'Py again and it works fine. That isn't much help in the way of problem solving, but I can verify that it isn't just an isolated case.

Alright, I can try that. Can you please tell me how do I launch Editra from Ren'Py?
Thanks
