Thanks for your reply.

What exact library is needed? I've both versions (32/64bit) of the 2008 Redistributable, the 2015 64bit and the 2015-2019 32bit. But I haven't done any Windows development in years, so I've no idea if that's the full current set. (Does the installation process not complain in some way if that is missing?)

Yes, I tried renaming the ini file, and as I mentioned, when I tried to start the app after that, it did *not* create a new one, so it wasn't getting that far.

I've been clinging to an older version of Sigil since I can't imagine using it without the Book View - #1 on the list of the apps best and most valuable features, for my money - though it's certainly on my list of experiments to try as a last resort. I'd really-really rather find a solution that didn't end up there, though...
