Hi trying to make some changes to the mendel90 as of right now just
changed (added MDF16 (5/8') and I want to change the size of the
boards later i.e. the width and height but as of right now this is
the error I get thinking I need to do some python setting up for this
to work that I am missing anyone here can help ? Like calling Nop and
others to chime in please the error from cmd prompt is below.

WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
I didn't catch much of what you said, but the python stack states that it
cannot launch openscad because it cannot find the executable "openscad".
I don't know how it works on Windows (not used for more than a decade), but
perhaps there is not such exe in your path, or it is not named this way
(are not executable ended with .exe on this platform ?)

Executables do have .exe extensions on Windows but you don't need to
specify that to run them.
If you look at the readme it says:
Add the directory of the OpenScad executable to your search path.
It looks like that is not the case.
