Hi guys,
I am trying to get the footprint wizard to open up on windows correctly. However it is still blank.
I have tried using the latest build
I have set the KICAD_PATH on windows. Could someone please help me out?
There is an instruction here.
https://uk-mg42.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=1ofl775drdj3a#6675674807
Download the files and put them in the directory shown.
It should then work.
Okay. I will try this .
I’ve got the same problem, but the page you linked is empty … 
Is there another way to get this instruction ?
Best regards
Daniel
The problem lies in the build of kicad.
Scripting is disabled !
So try to get another build with enabled scripting or try to build it yourself.
I had to learn it too because I had the same problem.
But now after a new build it’s working fine. 
Btw - i had to copy the whole build result over the installed version, replacing all the existing files because the lack of an installation procedure and missing dll’s. :
Best regards, Daniel
I tried to build on Linux, but the problem still exists. Is there some binaries which you can link to just for testing if it is indeed a build problem?
Having the same problem, I downloaded a footprint wizard script from GitHub, put it in \kicad\bin\scripting\plugins but it doesn’t show up when I try to select the footprint wizard to run.
How do I tell if scripting is enabled in my particular windows build (I downloaded it directly from the kicad website, prebuilt).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
RC1 has a scripting issue
RC2 will be rolled out asap without it

Hi
My build is available at http://www.share-online.biz/dl/S9N4D9XNQD
Built with mingw64 (mingw-w64-x86_64-kicad-git-r6296.33419ee-1-x86_64-package)
On my system the footprint wizard is working with it, but it at your own risk …
Best regards
Daniel
