Right, the first number is the error code and the second is the line number in the script. It does look like a permissions error:

269     Operators is: error in right operand
262     import: can't open file, mask file or display
252     if-then: error in condition expression
241     Handler: error in statement
353     Object Name:
573     Handler: can't find handler
253     if-then: error in statement
241     Handler: error in statement
353     Object Name:

The top line is the one that is usually the main error, the second line in this case indicates a file couldn't be opened. The remainder of the lines indicate the message path that led to the error, in reverse order.

The list was generated by a free utility called "LiveCode Lookup Errors" which you can find in Sample Stacks in LC's tool bar.

Hopefully someone can chime in who knows for sure. Knowing the errors will tell you more about what the likely cause may be.

I suspect it is some sort of permissions issue. In all most all instances where we have run into a weird startup issue with just one customer, it has turned out to be permissions related. For example, does you application create any preferences or license files or temporary files? Or try to save anything to disk behind the scenes (i.e. not a user driven file save dialog)? If so, chances are the place you are trying to write to is read-only.

It could be many other things, but this has been the most common issue like 
this we've run into.

I have a customer who is having a weird issue with a Windows app built in LC (9.6.1). It worked fine for about a month, it works fine here for me all the time and it works fine for all our other customers.

On startup is begins to launch then gets a bunch of errors:

269,76,1
262,67,1
252,67,1
241,67,1
353,0,0
573,68,1
253,68,1
241,67,1
353,0,0

But it only happens for this *one* person. They have the latest version of Windows 10, have tried multiple installs and uninstalls, turned off virus software, etc. I have downloaded from the same link I've sent him, installed and it runs fine for me and all our other customers.

I know it's along shot, but has anybody seen anything like this or offer any 
advice?
