System is Win7 7100 RC
When I try to start it, I have the following message in the log
file :

Do you use the Windows binary version of WikidPad or the source?

Of course.
I saw the website's "Troubleshooting Tips",downloaded and installed
the vcredist_x86.exe from Microsoft.
But it still doesn't work.

I got it. It must be intalled in the system disk. Now it works fine.

Hi,
Thank yoг for this outstanding application!
I got this in Win XP SP3:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\WikidPad

I installed binary version of WikidPad into D:\Program Files\WikidPad

What can I do?

Hm,
I reinstall it into D:\Program Files\WikidPad and the WikidPad works
fine!
But why is it?

Probably some .py-file in the "extensions" or "user_extensions" (if
