Ah, yes, you are right, I was working from memory, sorry.

Hmm, it *is* the release 2.3.0 not the development - I guess Jeremiah
is in the process of getting the binaries for the release published.

I've just had a look at Windows 10 documentation, it seems the Temp
directory where the output should be written should be found in your
home directory as
AppData\Local\Temp
(that is, in full C:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Temp)
apparently you can get to this folder from the File Explorer by typing
%temp% into the address box.
The permissions on this folder should be set to allow you to write
files to this folder - try creating a new file in it to see if that is
the problem.
Folder and file both work.
When i was truing different thing to load a different version of Denemo i probable deleted a file by mistake. The touch pad is so sensitive that it will open things or do things by just moving over them OR i removed something because i did not know what i was doing. (launchpad was replace by dell no help) It would probably be best just reload windows keeping files.
Thank you for you help with my computer but that is to much to ask. I will probably have enough Denemo questions, thank you.
