      When I attempt to install the last 3 versions of the program I receive the following error:

      Error opening file for writing
      /SciLexer.dll

      Abort Installation, or Ignore

        Hello Lisa-Cagle,

        it could be that you either

        • have no write permission to the destination folder (did you use administrator account for installation?) or
        • that there is already a file with the same name which has read-only flag set, so it can’t be overwritten.
          (if the file already exists, right click ->properties)
          Which OS do you use?

        Cheers
        Claudia
