jkiviluo commented 1 day ago

Trying to start Toolbox (latest, all packages up-to-date, the same bundle works on Windows11)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "spinetoolbox.py", line 20, in File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 384, in exec_module File "spinetoolbox\main.py", line 27, in ImportError: DLL load failed while importing QtGui: Le module spécifié est introuvable.

Qt6 does not support Windows 8.1 anymore so there's no help coming there. Is this a 32-bit or 64-bit Win8.1? You may want to check that the bitness matchess with the Python bitness.

Any chance of upgrading to Win 10?

I don't think that's an option in general for older computers. If they are to have a new life, it's probably better to switch to Linux. And in that case, there is a chance also Toolbox would work.

I keep this issue open until we have updated somewhere visible which OS versions we support.
