Perhaps recompiling the Flightcrew plugin with newer tools on Windows might be needed.
Since I am not a Windows person, I am really grasping at straws here.
I will tryt o look closer at that code tonight and see if I can modify the flightcrew plugin to dump more diagnostic information on failure that might help us to track down what is going on.

You might have hit on something there. When I did my complete re-install, the C++ runtime did not install (even though it said it was installing); it was not in my installed programs even after a reboot. I received that error message that others have referenced here, and Sigil wouldn't run. So I did a manual install of the C++ runtime, using "vc_redist.x64" that I downloaded from Microsoft. I hadn't mentioned it because I'm not sure if the same problem occurred with the installation on the laptop; I was dealing with the issue of not having SP-1 installed, and that detail might have gotten lost in the confusion.
If you have any suggestions for a replacement or alternative, I'd be willing to even go through the totally-clean-install again if that would clear up the mystery.
edit:
So I went machine to machine to compare my C++ libraries, and here's what I found:
laptop (FlightCrew works):
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) 14.0.24210
desktop (FlightCrew no workee:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) 14.0.23026
Hmmm. And Hmmm again.
There's a reason everyone
loves Microsoft so much. If I had enough nerve, I would convert to a flavor of Linux...but I'm not quite that brave--yet.
