I have downloaded the current windows snapshot and it installs for me.
Perhaps Peter's version got damaged in transmission.
I have tried several sequences of adjustments. if x12arima warnings
are not generated all appears to work well. If a warning is generated
the warning box is repeated at all subsequent runs of x12arima in the
current session. (If there is no warning a small empty box is
displayed). I presume that a switch is being set to display the
"warning" box but it is not being reset after display.
I think that the trading day button in the interface might be better
off by default. One needs to switch it on for flow data which show
trading day effects.
Best Regards
John

Probably the x12a "err" file actually said nothing but we got the
mistaken impression that it had some content. (x12a always
produces such a file, containing some "boilerplate" and blank
lines, if nothing else.) I've now adjusted the relevant test, so
hopefully you shouldn't get false positives. (CVS and snapshots
updated)
