After receiving this email from Paul, out of curiosity I tried to
install iz7slz EbNaut launchpad here on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and it
installed without problems and the GUI comes up OK.
I am not using EbNaut so I did not do further testing of program
function after the successful installation.
There was one notification during install because the version of
COMDLG32.OCX that it wanted to install was older than the version on my
system, and it asked if I wanted to keep the version I had so of course
I said Yes. I suspect that answering either "Yes" or "No" would have
been satisfactory.
The notification that I saw is here:

The GUI I see after install, given here for "proof of life", is here:

If this didn't install for you then the issue is likely either [1]
something particular to your system, or [2] a result of needed files not
being included in the distribution which I happen to have because I use
my system for development purposes, with the presence of these files on
my system before attempted installation preventing me from getting the
install error (and permitting successful installation).
