Python 3 likely changed the PATH environment variable which may have changed how dependencies are getting resolved. If you had a command prompt open, it may have had the old PATH values and then reopening it may have pulled in the new ones.
Some ideas to try: 1. Temporarily disable smartscreen ( http://superuser.com/questions/660603/disabling-smartscreen-in-windows-8-1) 2. Try running from the command prompt -- maybe you'll get a more detailed message of what's missing 3. Check the event viewer -- possibly something more detailed there http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/win8/windows8-event-viewer.htm Re-install as Raul suggested On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 10:49 AM, Raul Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > You might try reinstalling salford fortran. > > -- > Raul > > On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 10:40 AM, Mike Day <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Sorry - not J but you're a clever lot out there....
