Hi there,
I am using KiCad 8.0.6 but receive the classic “backend error” each time I open the PCB editor
I have followed the installation tutorial and here is the result
In the PCM, KiKit is up-to-date, as far as I can tell…
I tried to uninstall/reinstall KiKit, but with no change
What should I try ?
Thanks for your help
Sorry… Maybe I have to add I’m running Windows 11 with all regular updates
Everything looks fine.
Did you restart kicad? Fully, not just the pcb editor.
Thank you @qu1ck
What do you mean by “purge it” ?
I already tried by uninstalling from the PCM, but you apparently mean something else ?
The path is baked into the kikit.exe when the pip package is installed, if pip uses python from kicad 7’s installation then that’s what pip installed package will use. To get rid of it purge the pip kikit package and install it again from kicad 8 command prompt.
