Sequel:

Today Sigil 0.7.4 again failed to launch.
Possibly related: I had just applied the last IE8 patch.

Anyway, uninstall and reinstall 0.7.4: still failed.

But with the benefit of experience, I installed 0.6.2; this worked.
Uninstalled and installed 0.7.4; that now launches.
I'll revisit this if it dies again.

Obviously the earlier version is installing some file or making some Registry setting that the later version needs, but for some reason does not create itself. Sad this is now unsupported but at least there is this hack if anyone else is affected.
