Can't get the .exe or .js versions of SGOTT to run #10

What it says on the tin. I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Opening SGOTT.js gives me an 800A03F6 error, and SGOTT.exe just has a blank command prompt that doesn't do anything. I'm using windows 10 and don't think I'm doing anything unusual. Any help would be much appreciated.

My main experience is with the exe version. Are you running the exe directly? If so, try running it via the command prompt with the arguments: "sgott.exe " instead. It's also worth remembering to specify extentions as well.

Just ran it through a command prompt. The result was exactly the same as when I run it via double-clicking or right-click>open. This is with sgott.exe. To see if it works I've been entering -h into it (sgott) since the readme says that should work. Perhaps you could give me exactly what I ought to type in? Either into sgott or comand prompt itself. There's always the possibility I'm doing something wrong on my end.

To clarify, wrote: cd [directory]>start sgott.exe

For the record I'm a filthy GUI normie, so some of what you say might go over my head.

Try (With ; representing enter): cd [directory];sgott.exe \<sgofilename>.sgo \<sgofilename>.json;

damn, that worked! Thanks. Weird that the drag and drop doesn't work the same way.

It's something that has been considered, but not implemented yet. Perhaps a future version will allow for that. I'm glad you where able to get it working.
