Useful tip, Bill. I extracted to a new folder on my personal set,
instead of in Program Fles, and it works!! No inkling of why; leave
that puzzle to the experts! Extracted the same way Genj also runs.
I wonder if it is because there's a space in at least one of the
folders in the full path name? I know some programs don't like spaces
(or other "weird" characters) in the path. They get confused at the
first one.
Linux, on the other hand, copes!
On 64 bit Windows, all 32 bit applications are installed into "program
files (x86)" or similar, and quite a lot of them barf at the space,
and the '(' or ')' - so Microsoft give you a folder by default that
many programs cannot actually use. Go figure.
Cheers,

I've mada a folder Program_files_2 in C:\ and copied them into there.
Both SMSQ and Genj run ok from there so perhaps it is a
space-in-the-filename thing.
