In fact an easier way may be to use the Menus.txt file which is in the Artist installation folder.
It contains TABs, make sure you keep them. USe Notepad++ to view them (orange arrows).
File, File
File_New, New
File_Open, &Open…
File_Import, Import
File_In_Raw, Raw…
File_In_BMP, BMP…
File_In_Show plugins, Show plugins…etc…
Leave the left part alone, try to change the right part (menu strings).
Not sure it works, but you could try
Hello,
The installation goes fine. When I launch PD Artist, a Windows configuration box appears. After a moment it prompts me for the Paintslate.exe install file. I do not have that program on my computer. The launching just hangs there and the program never starts up. I looked on the Dogwaffle site for any support docs that might include the same issue I am having. Very little there and nothing that addresses this problem.I end up using Task Manager to quit the install/configure/launch window. If I try to launch it again, the same thing happens. Has anyone had this issue when launching the program? Does anyone have a solution? I appreciate any help, suggestions or workarounds you might have. Thank you.

[@Ivan Taylor] To be a little more specific, I’ve never seen this problem in 20 years. But like I said, sometimes things can get confused when installing as files are extracted to the temp folder if older files have locks on them. We suggest rebooting and re-installing just in case.
I haven’t been able to determine the nature of exactly what Paintslate is, but I can see that it was available on another free download site. It appears to be some kind of drawing tool.Hello,

I’ve seen similar on very(!) rare occasion, not with Dogwaffle though. But I think 1 or 2 other users of Dogwaffle have seen it when installing Dogwaffle. It is usually due to something missconfigured in Windows, something like the PATH variable if there is such a thing (I know the same from Linux). If the PATH variable points to a place that contains a file named setup.exe, it is possible for the setup.exe (the installer) to not be run and instead run the other setup.exe found in the path.
Something like that. I don’t have a clear suggestion of how to fix it. But I’ve seen some case or two where they were successful simply by uninstalling that other program, and making sure that program’s installer is no longer there.
You could also use windows’ Search for setup.exe and list all folders that contain such a file. One of them is the culprit, quite possibly. I don’t recommend deleting them all, as it might delete something you should keep. But if you can find Paintslate in your drive (C: drive and possibly others), I’d try uninstalling it and you can always reinstall it later, right?
Wait, you said it installed fine?
That’s slightly different. Or is it? I don’t know. Still, can you find where on your system Paintslate.exe is located, and why? It certainly doesn’t come from Dogwaffle.
Hope this helps
Well, I got past the launch problem. I uninstalled Paintslate, but I had to do a forced uninstall to remove it from my computer. The standard uninstall did not work. It appears that some installation, at sometime, did not go correctly and caused the continual install/configuration dialog box to pop up when another program was installed and launched.
Once the program was remove, Artist launched as expected. Thanks for the suggestions and the help.

Thanks, Ashraf!
