Re: [PyMOL] Failed to create menu's

[Matic Kisovec]

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?

Best regards,
Matic

Hi Puneet,

This is a know issue with the installer, which can have a variety of reasons.

PyMOL might still be properly installed and only missing the start menu 
entries. As far as I can tell from your screenshot, you can launch 
C:\pymoll\PyMOLWin.exe

Cheers,
  Thomas
