Thanks, your feedback helped. Shortcuts are now created and XAS-viewer works as before... Best regards Stefan ________________________________ Von: Matt Newville Gesendet: Donnerstag, 3.

Oh very sorry. I can reproduce this. I believe that an update to `pyshortcuts` (which *will* be a good thing for the next release of Larch) has broken the current release. (ah progress!). I also believe that this means that Larch did get installed correctly, but that the Desktop Apps/Icons did not get made. You should be able to do this from a Terminal command line: pip install pyshortcuts==1.4 larch -m Let me know whether that fixes it or not. Cheers, --Matt
