Clicking on "Open KA lite" in GUI produces error message about .bat files

[kimbfwhite]

Expected behaviour: When clicking on "Open KA lite" button in GUI an internet browser window opens up with the KA lite home page.

Current behaviour: An error message pops up that reads "Windows cannot find '.bat'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again"

Notes: • Tried opening the server locally at http://127.0.0.1:8008/ and still no luck
• I am running version 0.11.1 on windows 7 home basic

Hi @kimbfwhite! Thanks for reporting this issue. Is this a fresh install of KA Lite or did you upgrade from a previous installation?

[kimbfwhite]

Hi @aronasorman Thanks for the quick response. This was a fresh install

[aronasorman]

I see. This might be fixed in the upcoming release version. Would you be willing to try it out and see if it fixes your problem? You can get it at https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg2i14kwx1bdh9b/KALiteSetup-0.12.0.exe

Okay I'll give it a go. Should I uninstall the current version from my laptop first?

[aronasorman]

Yup, uninstall it first to make sure no bad state gets carried over to the new installation.

[kimbfwhite]

Success! (Though the "Open KA lite" button doesn't seem to work but I just used the local host address)

Okay now to figure out how to get isiXhosa videos on here!

Thanks @aronasorman!

Cool! If you can keep testing it, and report any bugs you might find, that would be great and will help improve KA Lite further!

[kimbfwhite]

Will do. Thanks for the awesome work you guys are doing!

A friend of mine was having this same problem with 0.11.1, and it still happened on 0.12.0. Turns out she had spaces in the user name during installation. Reinstalling with a username that didn't have spaces fixed it.

Thanks will remember this with future installations
