Mac project won't open in Windows

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows
1

Hi,

Created a project on the Mac and it crashed. I have backup’s so no problems. I installed trial of scrivener for Windows and the application starts. However, It won’t open when I run it on Windows 7. (Simply nothing happens).

Log-file is empty so I thought I could try create a new empty project and then import the scrivx file:
I get an Error: ‘The selected directory is not a scrivener project’.

I can see all the document files. I don’t expect the Windows version to be able to do everything as Mac can, but at least it should be able to parse the scrivx file. Any ideas?

Haha, I didn’t find those post when I searched. Thanks it helped.

I am a developer myself so from a technical perspective I thought that it would threat each scrivx file different since the actual content is one level down.

Let’s hope the developers could add some information in a alert box for future.
