Unable to open luncher "Could not find label 'start'."

[kostek00]

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 273, in script
    python:
ScriptError: could not find label 'start'.

Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 7.2.2.491

This error never occurred for me on any other OS then Windows 10. And ever since I'm on Windows 10 it happens few times per month. Replacing files doesn't work. The only solution I found to fix it is by removing whole Ren'Py folder and installing it again.

Also it seems like Ren'Py wrongly detects OS as in traceback it shows it's Windows 8 while it actually is Windows 10. Also my OS wasn't an upgraded version from Windows 8 it's fresh Windows 10 install.

Can you zip up Ren'Py and post it somewhere? My guess is this is more likely to be a problem with your antivirus software or some other malicious program, but I'd like to look at the files and know for sure.

[kostek00]

Sure, I will post link in an hour or two. I don't have fast connection. Also I only have basic Windows antivirus.

That was faster then I expected but here is link to my copy:

So, the issue is you have a directory named "game" with nothing in it. It seems to be created using an unrpyc tool, which is something I do not support. Delete that and Ren'Py will start working. If it comes back, you'll have to contact the unrpyc developers for support, not me.

So that was the issue. Thank you.
