Hi Harry,
I'm assuming your comment that you run Ubuntu didn't refer to where you
were trying to run the file :-)
I've just downloaded the release to one of my other Windows PCs (where my
home directory is completely different), and run it - with no issues. This
being on a 64 bit Windows 7. Could you tell me which version of Windows,
and whether it was 32 or 64 bits, you were trying to run it on?
I fully agree on wanting it to be as easy to install as possible! However I
don't have the experience needed in "python installer making" to be able to
say what went right or wrong. Yet. :-)
Thanks for trying to help your friend though!

Hi Rune --
I'm trying to help a follow running Windows install
nanovna-saver.v0.0.6.zip.
(I use Ubuntu linux)
I unzip all the files into a directory, open a command prompt in that
directory,
make all the exe's and dll's executable, and run nanovna-saver.exe.
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not an experienced python programmer, but it looks to me like this exe
is looking for python
in \users\au184274\appdata\local\programs\python which will never happen!
So, for grins I installed python from python.org in \python\python3.7 --
It didn't help.
So, next I copied the whole directory from github and used that python.org
installed python --
and that works, but of course it has nothing to do with the stuff in the
zip file.
It would be nice if the zip file stuff worked so that users would not have
to install python,
get your stuff from github and configure python with the imports needed.
Is there some option to get your zip file stuff to look for python within
the directory
where the zip file is installed on Windows?????
