Downloaded ddtall-win-installer-23.06.13-python-3.8.6-32bits.exe but opens up version 2.1.1

[AndyIreland]

I downloaded version 3.8.6 from the release area - I chose to place a link on desktop to start, I click on desktop icon to start and it starts up version 2.1.1 of DDT4ALL what have I done wrong?
I am working with win32 - i dont want to use the 64bit version

Thanks

3.8.6 python version https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-386/
2.1.1 ddt4all version https://github.com/cedricp/ddt4all/blob/v2.1.1/version.py

[AndyIreland]

This is what target my desktop icon opens up:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ddt4all\Python38-32\python.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\ddt4all\main.py"

[KarelSvo]

And where is the problem now?

I click on the desktop icon and it starts version 2.1.1 :

[KarelSvo]

Yes, that is correct, it is determined by the version.py file https://github.com/cedricp/ddt4all/blob/v2.1.1/version.py
And now the problem?

[AndyIreland]

I dont get it. If I have installed ddtall-win-installer-23.06.13-python-3.8.6-32bits.exe ... and it places a desktop shortcut when installed , and I press on the icon on the desktop why is it opening up the version 2.1.1 DDT4ALL and not opening up a version of 3.8.6 DDT4ALL?
I cannot see how I can explain it any more clearer

[KarelSvo]

Because 3.8.6 is the version of the Python programming language and not the version of the ddt4all software. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-386/

ddtall-win-installer software name
-23.06.13 date
-python-3.8.6- python version
32bits.exe windows version

3.8.6 is the latest possible version for Windows 7. https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

@AndyIreland you give advices at many here, but you don't make difference between python version and ddt4all version?

[KarelSvo]

@AndyIreland
This is no longer a problem because no reaction from you?

[AndyIreland]

3.8.6 is the latest possible version for Windows 7. https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

ah right that makes sense now - I thought maybe there was a newer version of DDT4ALL called version 3.8.6
sorry I was confused
