I have d-rats 0.3.9 installed and it appears to run on Windows 11. I haven't noticed any error messages and the Chat features work. I have not tried all the other options though so I cannot say it is bug free. Good luck and 73, Richard AD5RB

Carlos,

? I upgraded my Lenovo laptop, which ran 64-bit Windows 10, to Windows 11 64-bit, without having to reinstall anything...including D-Rats. It was a different story over a month ago, when I had to reinstall Windows 10 and rebuild the registry. So far, I haven't had any problems with D-Rats under Windows 11.

Thanks to all of you who have responding to my plea for help.

One of the first things I did was create 'D-RATS Shared' on the desktop, as shown in the attachment "DRATS Win 11 A".?

I have included two additional attachments which show more error message detail.

We have tried DRATS 0.3.3, 0.3.5 and 0.3.9 and we get identical error messages from all three.

My friends computer is a Dell 7000 and it appears much of the operation is entwined with "One Drive".? ?Although i am technically oriented, I am way behind the power curve on the latest versions of Windows.

Any additional suggestions are welcomed.

You are replying to a message from Nov 7, 2021, with no quoted context for us to go on. And the message that you replied to was someone that started a new thread instead of replying to the existing thread with the same subject.

A reply to the existing thread on November 9, 2021 described what is needed to fix your issue, and can be read with a browser at /g/d-rats/message/2047

It is a known issue caused by the way that the login account on Windows 10/11 is setup for some people. It is still an existing bug in the current D-Rats requiring that or an equivalent work around. There is a D-Rats ticket open on that issue, but currently I have not had time to get to it.

Also we would need to know the exact D-Rats version you are attempting to use and how you are attempting to use it. Be aware that fixes are only going into the Python 3 version of D-Rats, which on Windows runs under the Msys2 mingw64 system.

The Geocoders module in older D-Rats like 3.3 has no hope of working as it is hard coded to use a Yahoo service that has been discontinued. Only the current Python 3 D-Rats version supports the geocode functionality, and on Microsoft Windows, that requires running it in virtualenv, not the simple install option. As no one seemed to have noticed it was broken a long time, I doubt that you will miss it.

See for installing the current version.

And it would be helpful to read /g/d-rats/message/2581 for a successful install, and /g/d-rats/message/2583 for one that was not successful, and I hope since there was no reply to the second message that the problem was solved.

Thanks John,

Now to answer your questions. Drats version is legacy on a windows 11 machine.
The solutions offered did not resolved the problem.
I tried to work through the error log; down loaded simplejson and python to install simplejson. The drats share folder is on my desktop with a path through user> russh> desktop>onedrive>D-Rats shared folder.

There will likely be no bug fixes for the legacy Python 2 version of D-Rats. We do not have enough volunteers to make timely fixes to the Python3 version that we are able to test.

There should no reason to continue to attempt to run the legacy version of D-Rats on any system. And the legacy version of D-Rats on older Power PC MAC-OS or Sun Sparc platforms, etc can not exchange files with D-Rats on Windows.

You have already spent more time trying to get the obsolete version to work than it takes to install the current version of D-Rats on Windows.

There is no way to run the legacy version on D-Rats anymore on many modern Linux/Unix systems, which are my primary development platform for D-Rats.

Currently the only way that I can install D-Rats on Windows is:
.

The issue that is causing the crash is documented in: . It seems to show up with people who use the default option of logging into Windows with an online account instead of the local account option that Microsoft seems to be trying to discourage and hide.

It appears that for Microsoft is doing something creative with the login and desktop directories for online accounts that the D-Rats code, both old and new does not understand.

As per my personal strong preference of only using local accounts, I have no way to test such issues, and have to rely on the other testers for the bug reports to diagnose the issue.

Your download of a newer (unspecified) python or the simplejson (from an unspecified source) will probably not be used by the legacy D-Rats because it does not update the embedded private copy of python that the legacy D-Rats is using, unless you are directly tampering with the files installed by the legacy version. And as I previously replied, the lack of simplejson just disables the GEOCODE feature, which has not worked in the legacy D-RATS since Yahoo shut down the service it was connecting to a few years ago.
