Did you get the "User Install required..." message when you tried to 
start Starwriter?  Please quote the exact messages you saw; I expect it 
would have been:

User Install required before swriter3 can be run, please wait...
<some error relating to setup failing>
Can't find initialisation script ~/.sd.sh, User Install must be
completed before swriter3 can be run.

If you aren't seeing this, you're not running the right swriter3.  If 
you are, we need to work out why the setup program's not being run.

It's not.  You have copied the unsubstituted template.  Please follow 
the instructions; they ought to work.  8)

There is no appreciable difference between the two, apart from the 
timeout.
