That's not SciTE, that's the SciTE shipped with this distribution... :-) Which makes the 
thread on topic, of course.

Is it giving more information on the reason of incompatibility? What version of SciTE is 
shipped with LfW? (See About dialog)
I am pretty sure I used SciTE (own build from standard sources) on the Win7 computer of my 
wife.
IIRC the manifest was updated recently, perhaps that's the missing part? Maybe you can try 
and get the latest SciTE binary from scintilla.org and use it to replace the one you got?
