[Scilab-users] 6.1.1 startup error

[Samuel Gougeon]

Hello Stefan,

This kind of error might arise when the content of the SCIHOME directory 
of a previous scilab version is copied into the SCIHOME of the current 
6.1.1 version, for instance to avoid respecifying all users preferences.
Unfortunately, when the template of some configuration file is changed 
from one version to the next one, the file must be regenerated.

The issue should be fixed either by deleting the 
SCIHOME/configuration.xml file, and regenerating it automatically from 
scratch (quit Scilab and rerun it),
or by editing it and changing or adding the line just before the 
</Profile> one, for instance with

<HelpBrowser  index="scatter3d"  lang="en_US"/>
</Profile>

Regards
Samuel
