The machine was once Windows 8.1 but has since been upgraded to Windows 10. MarkdownPad failed when the machine was 8.1 too.

They answer it in the FAQ but it is easy to miss because it is specifically for Windows 8 and not clearly written.

The fix is to install Awesomium 1.6.6 SDK

4Thanks, I wish they'd update the installer to fix this issue. – Tracker1 – 2015-08-13T18:45:50.330

8be fair installing 110 MB SDK just to make editor work?? – Maha – 2016-02-24T17:52:45.983

1Also note that the latest version of Awesomium doesn't work with MarkdownPad. Version 1.6.6 is fine. – Muz – 2016-04-15T02:08:59.213

2@Mahesha999 Yep, 110MB is way easier than having everyone's app crash and then having to find this solution. – mikemaccana – 2017-03-06T11:50:08.773

Latest version of Awesomium (1.7.5.1) does not work. So, it has to be version 1.6.6
