Hi Paolo, all,

Thank you for responding. I tried this out this morning - though I could
not find chemdraw using the combrowser.

Instead I went to the registry editor grabbed the CLSID from
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChemDraw.Application.15.0\CLSID. (As far as I understand
this should be identical to the GUID) I replaced the GUID in
\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\pkgs\rdkit-2019.09.1-py37h422b363_0\Lib\site-packages\rdkit\utils\chemdraw.py
- however, I'm not seeing any change in the error when I go to import via "from
rdkit.utils import chemdraw".

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Regards,
Eric Murphy, PhD
