I download 3.21.1 in Windows 10, decompress then try to run the program and it opens a blank pane and side menu, and a window pops up saying the program has stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution–forever. the bottom of the main pane frame says file: unnamed.vsp3. What I am I doing wrong?
In my previous attempt with3.21.0 the error was vcomp140, per Microsoft I removed and re-installed visual basic c++, that seems to take care of that problem.
Please post somewhere in GROUND SCHOOL i clear info for following subjects :
1. Custom scripts ( what they are and how to use them )
2. Matlab files in matlab folder ( what they are and how to use them )
3. Python files in python folder ( what they are and how to use them )
4. Scripts in scripts folder ( what they are and how to use them )
other files formats as per GUI, there is some confusion what is the purpose and usage of certain file types.
