richard, Blockly isn't a programming language. It's an editor interface that generates code, in this case it generates ezscript. Blockly is for beginners and 90% of ezrobot users who are learning to program. It doesn't replace ezscript, it helps generate it. Ezscript is the heart of ARC and cannot be replaced. If you prefer text based editor, the option to select your preferred editor is available in the post above (option is in preferences)

running windows 10 -downloaded your new down file
ran the update, it only wanted to update/repair. SO, I deleted the ARC program, and then downloaded/ran the new update file. Got result above.
I am out of ideas?
I'll upload a new build later this afternoon.
