My bad, it was only cavern that ran. The other three gave the Windows error box "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Click OK to close the application. 

C:\Windows\System32> cd "C:\Program Files\Survex"

C:\Program Files\Survex> cavern --help

Please reply to the list - debugging this is likely be a collaborative effort.

I'm not sure what to make of it though - `aven --help` should require
**less** initialisation than `aven`, so it is peculiar that the latter works but the former doesn't.

Also odd that you can run aven from the command prompt but it fails if run from the GUI interface.
