I did a fresh install of 2214 to a new folder (C:/Mach4/) and it is now running G-code.
The other install (C:/Mach4Hobby/) had been written over with new revs a couple of times and had a smoothstepper ESS installed at one point and also TCP Modbus. I removed the smoothstepper plug ins and disabled TCP Modbus, but nothing worked, so I did not know what the problem was.
It appears now that MachMAD is the culprit. The install created an other profile and McLua.mcc is no longer present in the original profile, but does exist in the new machMAD profile. Apparently there are some steps that I missed in the MAD install.
