Ben,

I was able to load the zidv bundle without problems. I have hunch
what the problem may be. Does the IDV start normally at all? When
you start the IDV, does the view window with the map appear?

I can obtain better diagnostics if you go to the Help menu --> Support
Request Form. Make sure "Include Current State as Bundle" is checked. 
You don't need any data loaded.

Best Wishes,

Unidata IDV Support
