Sigil on Win8.1 and older systems.
The Sigil 2.0 version does not work on Win 8.1 and earlier.
When Sigil is upgraded to 2.0, Sigil stops working.
The best resolution for an issue like this is to take the older version 1.9.3 that does work and create a package called Sigil Legacy which will then, not be updated to 2.0.
Thank you from the old yet still useful versions of windows.
Inlcuded, But Not Used
The legacy version is already included but was not being launched on Windows 8. The 2.0.1 Rev 2 release fixes this issue.
