If I copy just the .exe and language folder, it works and displays the editor as expected.
For reference to the earlier install problem. When I end the task in the task manager for the full install and re-run the pspad.exe, the pspad.exe still hangs. Thanks and Happy New Year! -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,74497,74515> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
