I discovered the issue when I rebooted the machine and the latest 
version of Zap 1.4 installed and ran.

And this is useful to me how?  Not to be stupid, but in my world all 
I know how to do is the default install. I'm not going to think it's 
not useful for many people, but it doesn't matter to me.

In the end my issue would seem to be I did something out of order, 
though I thought I did it right, and as much as I tried the software 
only gave meaningless to me messages. I didn't understand and I don't 
think I've seen it said before that I should run .\configure every 
time I do anything.  I didn't understand what it did and had no idea 
it was how I'd get Zaptel support to build.
