Without details on what happens exactly, noone can help you.

Also, try UBU 1.79.2.1 and replace MCE.exe with MCE.py (of course after you've installed python properly, as instructed above).

Thanks for your advices to solve my problem.
Even though I was about to give up, I finally succeeded by simply following chinobino's trick and editing the 54th line of the UBU.bat script:

This line is causing me trouble: set mce=mce.py
If I edit it like this it works: set mce=py mce.py

Which proves that the issue is with the UBU batch script and not Python.

Try what you had at UBU v1.79.2, meaning "mce" without extension. When MCE.exe is present, batch will lauch the executable. When MCE.py is present, batch will ask Windows to launch whatever program deals with .py files (Python Launcher) and it should work just fine.

What chinobino suggested works as well because that command calls the Python launcher directly (C:\Windows\py.exe). I assume "C:\Windows\" is always at the environment variables?

When the Python Launcher is called, it checks the script for a "shebang" (#!) value at the top which tells it which Python version to use, from those installed. Here's how it looks at my scripts:



So it launches Python 3. If it said, "python2", the launcher would use Python 2 instead. This is how you can have both Python 2 and 3 installed at the same time.

This worked for me, thanks!

@plutomaniac:
JFYI - I had checked the "add to PATH" and "install Py Launcher" options during the Python installation.

@Fernando @chinobino

If you open a cmd and run "pip" or "python", do you get something back? If yes, the PATH has been set correctly. In that case, it must be some sort of weird batch scripting behavior in which it gets confused when being told to run "MCE.py" on some systems but works when being told to run "MCE". On your systems, can you try UBU 1.79.2.1 after replacing MCE.exe with MCE.py? Does it work?
