Hm... It probably didn't say that (if only because of the way Python is spelled). Please take a screenshot of the error and attach it to a post here, maybe the full error message will get some screenshots. You should also make sure python23.dll is around, and that you don't have extra copies of it.

Is it in the same directory as the exe? Also, which OS are you running?

You do need to extract python23.dll for Ren'Py to work. The one that ships with Ren'Py 5.5.6 is 974,915 bytes long.

I unziped the python23.dll first. Then when I extracted everything else a window appeared asking me if i wanted to replace some files; I answered yes then I tried to run the game and this appeared in a Note:

A few questions to help us understand what's going on :
- Which games have this problem? (name them)
- What are you using to uncompress the files ? (Winzip, winrar, 7zip, Windows XP native interface?) And also, how do you proceed ? (double click the zip file, right click on it and choose an option?...)
- Can you open the zip files and see what's inside? I noticed many recent releases (demos) don't include Ren'Py, just the game files... others include Ren'Py and shouldn't be uncompressed in an existing Ren'Py folder.
What I find strange is that it asks you to overwrite files...

That part where it's asking you to overwrite files suggested to me that it was a problem where the folder structure in the zip was being ignored - you get this if you open a zip with winzip but then select and drag all the files out of the main window instead of choosing 'extract all', for instance.monele wrote:What I find strange is that it asks you to overwrite files...
But then, the last error message given suggests that there's some folder structure in the game directory.
Which files did it want to overwrite?
