Adding the espansod.exe tothe PATH environment variable makes no difference, unfortunately. Is the problem caused by not finding Espanso, or by not finding the example script? When I used date (preceded by a colon) that worked. The logs say:

22:56:07 [worker(3700)] [ERROR] error during rendering: rendering error

Caused by:

could not execute script: '`C:\Users\andyb\AppData\Roaming\espanso/scripts/playbtw_example`', error: '`The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)`'

I'm not sure which path can't be found.

Hello there AB2014! Thanks for testing this out.

This error occurs if Espanso cannot find the executable script. In the Windows zip, this is called playbtw_example.exe and is located at C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\espanso\scripts (after you install it). This executable contains the logic such as for dice rolling.

If you are on Windows, perhaps an Antivirus thinks this is malicious and removed it when you extracted it? I am on Windows 11 and using default "Windows Security" with Windows Defender, and no issues.

(and thanks yakuzadave for trying to help! appreciated)

Still no luck, unfortunately. The Setup tells me it will install the file PlayBTW_v1_2_example, but it doesn't look like the different file name is the problem. It looks like the file just never arrives. There is no error message or warning, and if I run the Setup again immediately, there is no warning of a duplicate file. I'm using Windows 10 and Windows Defender, but I'm due to upgrade to Windows 11 in the next few days, so I'll try again after that.

Ohhh!!! I have double-checked :( you are right. Totally my fault. This example will never work. I did not compile it correctly :( :( :(. Will upload a _v1_2_example_2 again. Shame on me.

Now uploaded a correct one. But that means on the good side that your error was healthy and it will work :)

It works just fine now. If my frustrations helped you help me, then that's a good thing, right? No need to feel ashamed - these things happen. After all, show me someone who never makes mistakes and I'll show you someone who never does any work.....

Purchase imminent!
