[ptx] Re: Problems with Autopano-Sift, Hugin, Enblend workflow for windows

[Mark]

Instead of running mono and autopanog, I've tried hugin

I add the images, click on CreateCtrlPoints and get a popup asking for 
autopano / frontend script.

1) Navigate to Autopano sift directory and point to autopano.exe, it dies 
with an exception that I can't get to since the window closes so fast.
2) Point to GenerateKeys. Ditto.
3) Point to win-autopano-sift.vbs. Can't execute with error 193.
4) Point to win-autopano-sift-cmdline. Can't execute with error 193.

I'm stuck!
