my machine was upgraded to Windows 8 for work and Labyrinth stopped launching. any idea if there's a simple fix? thanks!

It may be as simple as rebuilding the installer with a newer version of PyNSIST - some of the earlier versions caused problems on recent Windows versions. I have a Windows 7 VM I can test on. Or it may be some other issue. Does it give any kind of error message?

no, for me simply nothing happens...

hmm. Can you try opening a command prompt, going to the directory where it's installed (probably something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Labyrinth, and running it with py Labyrinth.launch.py. There might be an error that you don't see.

The attachment didn't make it, unfortunately - I think you need to go to Github, and drag the file onto the comment box.

I've just tried it on my Windows 7 VM, and it still works.

It just occurred to me: when you say it was upgraded, do you actually mean that Windows was upgraded and you're still using the same installation of Labyrinth? If so, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it; it might start working.

If it's still not working: can you start Python, which should have been installed along with Labyrinth?

sorry, i didn't upload that screenshot yesterday. here it is. i uninstalled and reinstalled Labyrinth and Python a couple times using the 0.6 Windows installer you created a few months ago, but no luck. Python opens fine. thanks as always for your help!

Oh, wait, I forgot that I made it log errors to a file (d'oh!). Go and find %APPDATA%\Labyrinth.launch.pyw.log - the contents of that should show what the error is.

%APPDATA% is typically C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming, though it may be different if work sets up your computer.
