Hello John,

Thanks, this worked. I also followed a hint from
<https://github.com/jungleji/chmsee>:

1. copy xulrunner-stub.exe to conkeror.exe (at a DOS prompt):

> copy path\to\xulrunner-stub.exe path\to\conkeror\conkeror.exe

2. create a symlink to xulrunner directory:

> mklink /D xulrunner path\to\xulrunner

The second step gets rid of the "Can't find Mozilla runtime" message.

Now I can run conkeror.exe.
