Why do people still waste money and time on third-party antivirus on Windows? All they do is break things.

Clearly the install wasn't completely blocked by Norton. The only version of the Sigil executable that would be looking for icuin74.dll is Sigil 2.3.0. That's because earlier versions of Sigil didn't use, or include, the 3 ICU dlls. I've no idea what bug Norton has up its butt. Exempt Sigil's installer, exempt its program directory, and exempt Sigil's preferences folder and try again. If that doesn't work, my advice would be to put as much distance between Norton and your computer as you can.
