That is the entire error message. It doesn't offer any clues to a
tech-illiterate humanities person like me.


I just checked the executable from that site and it works fine on this
box.

Do you mind copying the paths written on the environment tab of the
GUI? It might be that the setup process went wrong.

Target: "C:\Program Files\latex2rtf\l2rshell.exe"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\latex2rtf"

I also tried adding an extra backslash to the 'start in' path, to no
visible advantage.

No, that is not the place Louie asked you to look at.
Start the shell (C:\Program Files\latex2rtf\l2rshell.exe), open the tab
"Environment" and then have a look at the pathes.
It may help to replace "C:\Program Files" by "C:\PROGRA~1" in these
strings.
But can you start this shell?

If you cannot start latex2rt.exe from the command line, your problem is
probably related to window, not to latex2rtf.

What version of Windows do you run?

Do you run a 64bit CPU? latex2rtf is compiled for 32bit and may not run
on a 64bit system.

Do you run a virus scanner which may prevent starting latex2rt.exe?

If no virus scanner but WinNT / 2000 / XP / 2003: What user rights are
assigned to the folder C:\Program Files\latex2rtf and to the files
installed in it?
