OS used?
Did you install scid, or using the portable version?
Scid woes.
Sort:
OS is windows downloaded with the MSI installer. Here is the error text:
couldn't read directory "C:/Program Files (x86)/Scid/scid/bin/config/*.spf": no such file or directory while executing
"glob -nocomplain- directory $dir"*.spf""
("foreach" body line 2)
invoked from within
"foreach dir $photodirs {
foreach photofile [glob -nocomplain- directory $dir"*.spf"]{
readPhotoFile $photofile
}
}"
(file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Scid\scid\bin\scid.gui" line 93338)
On sourceforge, I now see a "SCIDB".
Does anybody know what that is? An upgrade of SCID?

It's a new SCID fork, currently not available for windoze.
At the OP:
"C:/Program Files (x86)" means you are using a 64-bit version of windoze. Which one?
I am sorry, but if you are too lazy to answer the questions properly, then you should not expect help.

I guess you're using the present Scid ver 4.3 msi installer? I have this version installed on my Windoze 7 Home edition, and it doesn't have a config folder, and it works just fine. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if the problem is repeatable?
One minor glitch that I did notice with this version is that it doesn't have the bases folder that contains the tactics databases. If you want those, you'll have to download the scid-4.2.2.tar.bz2 tarfile and manually copy over the bases folder. You can get the old tarfile here:

Or, you could just download the latest Scid vs. PC program. It's much better than the old Scid, except that it doesn't have the window docking feature.

And I HATE that :(
Hey! If any of you guys is an oldhand at Scid, when I boot the .exe it tells me I'm missing the config folder. I looked in there and it's true, there isn't one. Ever come across this? There aren't any clues on the Scid website.
