Hi all!

After a break of two years I decided it was time finally time to play dwarf fortress again. Eagerly I downloaded the dwarf fortress 40_24 starter pack r2 but after unzipping it, I wasnīt able to launch PyLNP.exe. All i get is this error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file".

I enabled full access for all users, executed as adminstrator and checked wether my firewall is might cause trouble. However none of these helped me solve the problem. The included current version of DF works, allready with a graphic-enhancement-mod enabled.

I was searching through the forum, but didnīt find solution - so any ideas what to do?

Many thanks & best regards

Your virus scanner probably nuked the executable because it is "new" and "untrusted" by their system.  You should be able to undo the action and explicitly trust the program, but the instructions for doing so vary pretty widely across antivirus systems.
