Via Control Panel, Add / Remove Software ran the uninstallers for both LPub2
and LDView3
Deleted the LPub2 directory
Deleted the LDView directory
Deleted the HKLM/Software/LPUB registry entry
Deleted the HKCU/Software/Travis Cobbs registry entry

Yes. I am local admin on both machines I can re-produce the problem on.
Also, it would seem that LPub can create the working directories as they
exist after the first rendering so the error then does occur on the second
rendering

All my installs live under c:\Lego\CadTools then LDView is in ...\LDView and
LPub2 is in ...\LPub2

LDraw et al were originally installed from the Virtual Lego CD. LDraw has
been updated many times since. L3P I believe is the original.
Only one LDView installed BUT I do still have LPub1 installed
