Hi Stéphane, hi Samuel, hi all, The idea behind SCIHOME is to have a version specific directory to avoid any issues when upgrading from Scilab versions to Scilab versions ; IMHO implementing an upgrade for files stored into this directory is for me a non-sense ; the upgrade could be done manually (as Samuel described) for the few users that copy the files between SCIHOMEs.

S. Le 22/09/2021 à 17:10, Samuel Gougeon a écrit : Hello Stefan, This kind of error might arise when the content of the SCIHOME directory of a previous scilab version is copied into the SCIHOME of the current 6.1.1 version, for instance to avoid respecifying all users preferences. Unfortunately, when the template of some configuration file is changed from one version to the next one, the file must be regenerated. The issue should be fixed either by deleting the SCIHOME/configuration.xml file, and regenerating it automatically from scratch (quit Scilab and rerun it), or by editing it and changing or adding the line just before the </Profile> one, for instance with <HelpBrowser index="scatter3d" lang="en_US"/> </Profile> Regards Samuel Le 22/09/2021 à 12:08, Stefan Du Rietz a écrit : Hello, when starting Scilab 6.1.1 with $ /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/bin/scilab I get the message: Startup execution: loading initial environment at line 81 of function xmlGetValues ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/xml/macros/xmlGetValues.sci line 94 ) at line 22 of function help ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/helptools/macros/help.sci line 34 ) at line 14 of function helpbrowser_update ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/helptools/macros/helpbrowser_update.sci line 25 ) xmlGetValues: Invalid attribute name: lang. in Ubuntu Linux after a successful (apart from this) installation from scilab-6.1.1.bin.linux-x86_64.tar.gz What can I do?
