installing Cura

[Retiredtech 0]

Ok I haven't used my printer for a few months. It is not an Utilmaker but I always used Cura before on win 7. Have recently went to a newer computer, Windows 10 pro.

 

I can't get any version of Cura to complete the install and always get the same message. I have downloaded the latest Python...  Would appreciate any help..

Your Cura is having trouble opening from the application package; having a problem to open the start. Try opening your firewall. I'm not a coder, so I don't really know what's going on, actually, but hope this might help.

I think there's a clue in the last lines shown in the error message above. It's got some permission error trying to open a log file. Please make sure that the AppData\Roaming folder exists for that user and it is writable.

That didn't help I had tried looking at the fire wall and even turning it off.

Thankks

It is there and has logs in it.

But they seem from an earlier install

 

 

Thanks May be some help

Try removing the stdout.log file (but keep the folder in place).

Well actually I deleted the whole Cura folder in AppData\Roaming folder. As This was a new install after uninstalling everything I decided there should not be any Cura stranglers.  Worked a charm so thanks....
