Minpack2 dll error

Other
1

running
“C:\Program Files (x86)\PsychoPy3\pythonw.exe” “C:\Program Files (x86)\PsychoPy3\Lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\psychopyApp.py”

does not produce any output at all.

in trying to find the cause, I have started python and ran this
from psychopy.app._psychopyApp import PsychoPyApp

which generated a buch of errors leading to this one:

from scipy.optimize import minpack2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in

arch.py”, line 18, in
from scipy.optimize import minpack2
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

any advice?

StandalonePsychoPy3_PY2-3.2.4-win32.exe installs and works correctly
StandalonePsychoPy3-2020.2.5-win32.exe installs but does not run at all.

Thus, maybe there are some dependency issues? Some libraries should be installed to make 2020.2.5 run?
