Strange, since there were more than 1000 downloads of 1.9.9.1 and this was the 
only
such report I got.

Can you provide some more info:
- Have you got Python 3.0a1 or 3.0a2 installed?
- What was the last version of Pyscripter that runs OK if any?
- Anything else that might be useful?

I didn't have Python 3.x installed. Now it works, thanks.
I just would recommend two things:

- you should warn somewhere that Python 3.x is required.
- you should provide a more detailed error message if case like mine happens.

Python 3.x is not supposed to be installed since not few people will keep using 
2.x
for a long time, even when stable 3.0 will be definitively out.

There is absolutely no need for Python 3.0 to be installed.  But having Python 
3.0a1
is a problem as explained in 
http:\\pyscripter.googlepages.com/python3.0support.  So
I am still puzzled why the crash happened.  

If you have many Python version installed you can still choose the Python 
version by
a command line argument e.g.

PyScripter --PYTHON25 

will run PyScripter with Python 2.5.  Does this work in your case?  Otherwise it
might be a problem with the Python 2.5 installation or a damaged Python25.dll 
file.

Uhm... maybe the problem occurred because I had old 3.0a1 files scattered 
around the
C:\Python30 directory. Don't know if that could have been the cause of the 
problem.
Anyway. I removed Python 3.0a2 completely. Now I have Python 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5
installed and Pyscripter works.

Thanks for support.

That sounds like a likely cause of the problem.
