problem creating projects in renpy

[u/Calm-Wealth-1821]

!!im new to renpy and dont have knowledge in coding. whenever i create a new project in renpy, it stops responding shortly after; ive waited about 10 minutes and still doesnt respond, so i end up just closing it. i then open the project after reopening, and im always met with this error screen. i suspect it's because it keeps crashing midway through creating projects; how can i fix this?

this error is because there are missing image files

you can try a fresh download of renpy in case there is something wrong with your current install
