I now adjusted my approach. - That is I tried to follow your instructions as closely as possible - but - take explicitely into account that I'm using Powershell 5 & Windows 10 ... Here are the steps that I used for my second attempt : 1. Create & activate a new PyVE. - OK. - See "Log-001" 2. Use 'Invoke-WebRequest' to download the current version of 'devel.zip' from GitHub. - OK. - See "Log-002" 3. Use 'Expand-Archive' to extract the downloaded archive. - OK. - See "Log-003" 4. Use 'pip' to install 'leo-devel'. - OK. - See "Log-004" 5. Start 'leo-devel' - Not OK. - No further information available ... 6. Close the 'leo-master' instance and retry to start 'leo-devel' using 'leo-m' ... 7. Start 'leo-devel' again. - Not OK. - See "Log-005" I'm just reporting the content of 'Log-005' here. Now I really need your feedback on what the problem is ... With kind regards, Viktor ### <Log-005> (leo-devel) PS C:\Users\Viktor\pyve\github\leo-devel\devel> cd ..
