Hello, folks, I'm back. I recently had a catastrophic meltdown of my Windows 7 system, somehow all the smoke got out and it doesn't work any more. So I broke a tooth biting the bullet and bought a new laptop, and of course the only thing I could find was with Windows 10. Unfortunately the other one had all my passwords and stuff on it, so I had to start many things anew. A fresh lesson on security backups, looking out the barn door watching the horsie disappear into the distance.

I did manage to install Sigil no problem; got FlightCrew working fine, but when I went to install EPUBCheck 0.4.5, I get an error, it won't run.

Now I have to admit, I'm not running the latest version of Sigil, and I won't be. I have 0.9.9 loaded. One might ask why I haven't upgraded; that's been asked before, and it's because I use the built-in editor constantly, in spite of its quirks. The developers of Sigil decided right after that release to stop supporting the built-in editor, and that's their choice--which I understand; why add to the complexity of maintaining something that constantly sent them running to the Aspirin bottle?

So, that out of the way, here's the error code I received. It's delivered to me in Spanish--

Status: failed

but here's what Google translate does to that:

Status: failed

Obviously, it's looking for something and can't find it--though I have to admit that part about "execute child" sounds a bit ominous.

If, as I kinda speculate, the problem is simply a matter of a missing Javascript app, I have to say I did go looking for a download for it, but I didn't find a site I felt comfortable with. These days, so many promises packaged with so many viruses, so if someone could direct me to a site they know is secure, I'd appreciate that.

Anyway, sorry for bending your ears (eyes) so long, but I do appreciate any help I can get. I'll be checking back.
