I've been away from the forum for a short while because I've had a cold and generally feeling tired, disinclined to fight with technology. However, I'm brighter and better now.
Still haven't fixed this issue. I tried svenlind's process from post #31, with a variation.
I create three yaml folders:
one containing virgin, unpatched yamls,
one containing the ones with the original edits
one intended to copy the edits, ensuring I made no errors in spacing etc.
I also didn't unzip the kobo-update-4.30.18838 file (which I did before).
My first attempt was with the original, edited yamls. This failed, but I was given a lot of error stuff I don't understand.
I tried with the virgin, unedited yamls. This also failed.
This is the error gobbledygook:

This means nothing to me.
It appeared in the Out folder.
Oh, and I've been unzipping the patch using the Windows Explorer 'extract' feature.
