Crash on run: The specified module could not be found (apngasm)

[sindastra]

Hi, I installed the latest version (2.2.5) through the MSI package on Windows 11, and it doesn't run.

The previous version I had installed (2.1.6) through the ZIP works fine.

Here's the error message:

Thank you for your report. A bug report has been opened upstream: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka/issues/2674

[laggykiller]

While we wait for upstream fix, you may install v2.2.6

Thank you! I just wanted to confirm that the v2.2.6 workaround works on my end, both for the ZIP and MSI versions! (:

(And thank you for handling this so quickly, I'm excited to go convert some more stickers now!)

Seems like the problem is on apngasm-python, not nuitka

Looking into it

[laggykiller]

Properly fixed in v2.2.7: https://github.com/laggykiller/sticker-convert/releases/tag/v2.2.7

Closing.
