I'm running kstars/ekos as client on win10.

I used "upload and slew" command in the solver tab and tried to solve locally. With "internal" and "local astrometry" StellarSolver options it can solve the image. When I moved to ASTAP, it fails:

In the Options->Configure tab, I tested all three source extraction methods and they all fail.
It seems to be looking for this file : externalSextractorSolver_14.ini <-- this is nowhere on my computer.
Any help would be appreciated.
