Hi everybody, we got the same error (Failed to create menus) on Windows 10. We selected 'Ignore' and Pymol 2.1.1 was unable to start successfully. We had to find the .exe in the installation folder since there was no shortcut, as mentioned before.
In our case the solution was to: 1. Uninstall/remove the broken installation of Pymol 2.1.1. 2. Install again but this time we chose the option to install for all users. We were asked for administrative rights, confirmed that and the installation finished succesfully. Could it be an permission issue?

As far as I can tell from your screenshot, you can launch C:\pymoll\PyMOLWin.exe Cheers, Thomas > On Jun 25, 2018, at 10:37 PM, puneet garg > <punnetg...@gmail.com<mailto:punnetg...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Dear Sir, > I am installing PyMOL (education version PyMOL-2.1.1_0-Windows-x86_64) on my > new windows 7 computer.
