EDScout 1.5 won't start

I got this error message:

That'll teach me not to run the packaged version and double-check it runs okay.

Looks like the installer isn't finding one of the modules I added to do keyboard input:

Try this: https://github.com/joncage/ed-scout/releases/tag/v1.5.1

[raycelander]

Perfect! v1.5.1 starts now. I will test it today!
Thank you for your outstanding work!

I was going to report this, but figured it might just be me again, and also got bogged down with other stuff. I'll get it running later and check it out.

When are you planning to update the Git page with newer pictures, or is there more in the pipeline you want to do first?

Doing an excellent development job.

[joncage]

Yep, fair point on the pictures. Needs a refresh. I need to play with some automation of the tests I think first and I can use them to automate screen shots potentially.

That will also run a test that should ensure the packaging worked before you excellent commanders run it and point out I broke it again 😉

[joncage]

Updated the description image to explain the terminology. There's a couple of others that need an update too.

Version 1.5.1 does the same thing on Windows 10 build 20206.1000

Program will not launch.

If you're able, can you try using the diagnostic build? (Extract it then call 'runit.bat'). That should give us a clearer idea what's going wrong so I can put it right 👌🏻

The error is correct -- that path does not exist. My saved games are stored at E:\dstru\Saved Games using the standard Windows method of relocating user folders

This is the first application I've encountered with issues following the redirect and have been using this feature since Windows Vista.

Gotcha! Probably a naive assumption I made somewhere along the way. I'll set up a test to replicate your setup and find a fix on Sunday when I'm back at my desk. Should be a fairly simple one I suspect.

Cheers for the help debugging!
