Newbie can't run MakeHuman under Windows 11

[WilburPost]

Hi all, I'm a MakeHuman newbie. When I run the Python code, this is the result:

Code: Select all

PS C:\Program Files\makehuman-community\makehuman> python makehuman.py
MakeHuman Copyright (C) 2001-2020 http://www.makehumancommunity.org

C:\Program Files\makehuman-community\makehuman\lib\getpath.py:152: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\D'
  value, type_ = "%USERPROFILE%\Documents", winreg.REG_EXPAND_SZ

No MakeHuman interface appears. I don't know enough about Python to make sense of this. Any suggestions? Thanks!

When I run the Python code

When installing in Windows, there is a launching shortcut like "makehuman-community" with the MakeHuman icon . This is what you should run.

Aha! Success! It was in my Windows app menu. Thank you!

Since you have found the program on your start menu, it can be added to your taskbar by right clicking the shortcut and selecting "Pin to Taskbar". This makes it much easier to find in the future.

I always put all my work icons on the taskbar and leave everything else on the start menu, no matter which OS I am running. I try to get all my gear to be MAC like. It makes them very easy and fun to use.
