After updating, Sphere Studio wouldn't start and didn't display any errors or indication that it ran all, so I ran it via Cygwin. I then got this:

so I clicked continue and went on my merry way.
Unfortunately, when I click to open any of the reference files from the Help menu, I get "Sphere Studio doesn't know how to open that type of file and no default file opener is available. Tip: Open Configuration Manager and check your plugins."
But if I try to open the configuration manager, I ge this:
