Can't launch movpy2.0.0-py2.4.4
Kevin Horton
I'm running W2K. I do not have administrator privileges. Movpy is in a directory on my Desktop. I changed the permissions on movpy.exe, movpyw.exe, and the DLLs in the movpy directory to be executable. Any advice would be appreciated.

Problem solved. I did a chmod -R u+x movpy/lib, and now it runs. I don't remember having to do that on beta1.

never used Win2k.
Glad you sorted it though.

I used unzip from inside Cygwin to unzip the archives, so maybe,
possibly, it behaves differently from WinZip somehow. I used chmod
from inside Cygwin to sort out the permissions. Anyway, it works
now, and so far it has behaved as I would hope.
