We haven't tested Chimera on anything before Windows 7 for many
years, so if your program works on Windows 7, then I'd tell the user
to upgrade :-(.<br>
<br>
But assuming you want to debug this, can you get the exact error the
user is getting? That would help narrow down the possibilities a
lot. A simple test for opening Python files: have your user save a
Chimera session file and then open it. Chimera 1 session files are
Python files, so if that works, there's not a problem opening Python
files.<br>

<div>I'm writing an application that calls a relevant python
file and opens it in Chimera. I've gotten the program working
just fine on the majority of systems but one of my clients
attempted to use the application and noticed it's having a
breaking point or issue (on his particular Windows Vista
system) when the application tries to open the python file.
Windows itself recognized the exact path and location and can
open the file on other computers just fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any assistance or advice on what I'm missing (if there's a
chimera-specific setting) or if this is a known issue with
particular OS'es etc., please let me know.</div>
