I'm using Pegasus Mail 4.63, on Windows 7. I had to uninstall/reinstall different versions of Internet Explorer, which may be the underlying issue here, but on startup Pegasus Mail tells me: "Pegasus Mail has encountered an operating system error while attempting to load the extension 'IERenderer'. The error code returned by Windows was: "The specified module could not be found.".
I've downloaded what seems to be the newest IERenderer, and tried it in various directories, with no luck, as well as grabbing LibTidy.dll. I'm hoping someone will know right off what the problem may be; I expect it has to do with file versioning. What directory should IERenderer.exe be in? (I've got copies in various places just to see if that were the issue).
The main symptom I see after startup is that hyperlinks get mangled when I try to open them. I can see HTML rendered; if I open a message in the browser, the links work fine. If I try to open a link in the Pegasus rendered HTML, that usually fails.
I just did a controlled test - the hyperlink in the email is:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201493174713214&set=np.108727281.1238776406&type=1
and when Pegasus opens the link it's using this:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?amp%3Bfbid=10201493174713214&%3Bset=np.108727281.1238776406&%3Btype=1&%3Baref=108727281&%3Bmedium=email&%3Bmid=95c3c31G49d63a56G67b0bf1G79&%3Bbcode=1.1391607676.Abn33S6YNNkkIOLm&%3Bn_m=bentz%40bentz-engineering.com
It is likely the "amp%" insertions that are causing the problem. (I do of course still get the error on Pegasus startup about IERenderer not being found.)

IERenderer.exe is an installer (as the download page says in its second top most bold paragraph), just execute it and it will find its proper place provided Pegasus Mail has been running from this location before (Pegasus Mail creates a Registry entry which is used by IER's installer for figuring out where to go).
PS: I'll rename the installer to IERenderer-Setup.exe next time I'll update it.

Good idea ... may be you add the versionnumber too?
Example: IERenderer-Setup-2492.exe?

If you know a way of reading a binary's version number via batch file? I'm not going to do this manually ...

Please no, Martin, I can do this by myself if required. But I won't do it anyway since it would result in more hassles with keeping links and scripts updated etc. It's much more convenient to keep a fixed setup name in all places, and for those people being interested in the product version they may simply look it up on either the download page or the file properties. Aside from this IER's "About ..." dialog provides a link for doing an update check automatically.
