Hi Daria,
Sorry for the trouble. Just as a general comment, and because I see this
too often, "I uninstalled and reinstalled it N times" hardly ever works. I
understand that it is a fairly easy thing to do, but it is rare for
reinstalling to fix problems other than corrupted files or the occasional
conflict between libraries. There is no need to do that more than once.
A bug report like this is really hard for us to diagnose. Like, why did
an earlier version stop loading? Something must have changed there. Do
you have any idea what that could be? Is that important?
You say that you also uninstalled Anaconda and Python, implying you may
have had a different Python environment installed. If you install Larch
from the installer or GetLarch script, it will always install a completely
isolated Python environment. You can use an existing Python or conda
environment if you want, but if you do that, you do sort of take
responsibility for doing at least some troubleshooting of running Python
programs.
I'll assume that you installed from the provided installer. If you open
your Anaconda Prompt for the version of xraylarch that you installed, you
should get a prompt like:
(base) C:\Users\yourname>
and you should be able to type "larix" there to start the Larix
application. You said that you see files in the Scripts directory, so that
means that at least most of the installation work. If you get "larix is not
a recognized command", then try to figure out why your Anaconda prompt is
not set up correctly or set the Path to include the appropriate Scripts
folder.
If you get some other message, read and try to understand the messages
printed out. Is some package missing? Perhaps
pip install missing_library
will fix that. If you don't understand the message, please post the entire
message, preferably as text with reasonable contrast. Shells on Windows
often default to red text on a black background, which is very hard to read
(at least, for me). Please do not post an image of that. Copy the text and
post that.
If Larix does run, then typing
larch -m
will create the Larch folder on your desktop and include the shortcuts to
starting the programs. If it does not, then post the error messages.
