Control Panel GUI does not open, can not register... #1693
Description
I just downloaded & extracted Winpython64-3.13.5.0slim.exe on my W10 computer. Wiki says for registration I have to start ControlPanel, go to menu "Advanced" and "Register distribution", but in my case no GUI shows up, only command-line help:
usage: wppm [-h] [-v] [--register] [--unregister] [--fix] [--movable] [-ws WHEELSOURCE] [-wd WHEELDRAIN] [-ls] [-lsa]
[-md] [-p] [-r] [-l LEVELS] [-t TARGET] [-i] [-u]
[package(s) or lockfile ...]
I tried to register it using command line, but I get only some strange error:
C:\Users\Jarry\Programs\WPy64-31350\notebooks>wppm --register
Register WinPython: associate file extensions, icons and context menu with this WinPython

What does it mean and how can I fix it? This is my first experience with winpython, but as of now, I'm quite scared of it...
