Don't bother with the installer, instead use the zip file - best is
http://www.denemo.org/~jjbenham/mxe/denemo.zip
To do this download the file to a convenient place (a USB stick if you
want to carry it around with
you). Unpack (“Extract”) the downloaded file (denemo-mingw-2.2.zip) by
right-clicking and choosing Extract. This gives you a folder called
denemo-2.3.1, double click on that and then double click on the file
Denemo in that folder. (It is a Windows Batch file, Denemo.bat). This
will launch Denemo – it takes a long time to launch the first time you
use it. You can set up a shortcut to that file to make launching Denemo
easy.
Extracted to denemo not denemo-2.3.1, Also checking Help, it said that it was version 2.3.0, close enough.
It opened but could not write to the PDF window; error "Could not open output file for writing". The work/entr window seems to work fine but every entry give the error, which has to be cleared to make the next entry. Just to be clear there is nothing wrong with the software it has to be my computer.
Thank You,
