Hi.
I recommend Thonny IDE instead.

Our tutorial is a bit outdated, I’ll try to update asap.

For the life of me, we are unable to install this on to a Windows 10 PC.
First, when running the installer (uPyCraft_V1.1.exe), we got an error message about msvcr100.dll being missing. So have many others, we see. After installing the right update from Microsoft, no joy.
We noticed somebody had some success by copying msvcr100.dll into their download directory. For us, this let the installer went a little further and then crash.
Would really like to install and try this, and would be happy to pay for something that works and does not have a lot of trial and error to get it running.

Hi Eliot.
What exact error do you get?
And which line is highlighted?
Double-check that you have the right spacing and indentation in each line.
