Answer 1

As documented, there is a problem with the .l3 file. The error is caused by a file of this type in the installation directory. You will find this file in the PolyAni folder. Remove the folder and then create an empty one and place one file at the time until you find the corrupt one. The software will work, but you might need to re-create the files to use it again.
