We need the first set of errors you saw when opening Pathfinder to help. The above shows either all your addons are removed or HL is in safe mode because of an error it got on load.
 
I clicked HL from the Quick Menu along the bottom of the screen.
Pathfinder is selected, and I choose Load.

This window opens:
The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

The following errors occurred:

SoP is spheres of power addon has an issue. One that sounds like I am 99% sure was fixed awhile ago. Have you updated Spheres of Power to the latest version?

In matter of fact HERE is the post with those errors listed by the TheIronGolem.
 
Spheres of Power says I have that version (1.32) already.
Unfortunately, I'm still not able to open Pathfinder without issues.

Thanks for your assistance and pointing me in the right direction.
I guess I'll remove all the Spheres of Power stuff, and then add them, to see if that fixes it.
 
Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue still.

I went to the folder with the initial release of each of the SoP packages.
Double clicked, and added them.
Then Exited out, to click on the next one.
Once all were done, I went into the updater and updated to the latest version.

Then restarted Hero Lab, loaded Pathfinder, and have what appears to be the same set of errors.

Not ideal, but I suppose it worked...

I copied the three HL folders, the install folder, the Program Data folder, and the User Data folder, from my not-updated Desktop to a flash drive.

Then pasted those folders in the appropriate places, on the updated laptop.

HL didn't like the license, so I had to reactivate the license for the laptop onto the laptop.
HL opens on both the Desktop and the Laptop, without any errors... but it wants me to update to version 14.4.
 
I mentioned this in the support thread where you had just posted, but to reiterate for the sake of any other readers: Make sure you've updated any expansion content (Sphere Handbooks, Expanded Options) as well as the core package. Those errors in particular are from the Mentalist's Handbook which is particularly heavily affected by this issue.
 
I uninstalled every component, reinstalled them all, and then updated them top to bottom.
Still had the issue, unfortunately.
 
Hmm. Not that I don't believe you, but can you check Tools->Manage Third-Party Updates and list the version number HL shows for each SoP package you have? I'm wondering if the update mechanism missed one in your case. I had a couple of people yesterday with your same problem who got it cleared up by updating everything so I want to be absolutely sure you're current as well.
 
Checking through the list, I seem to have two versions of the Alteration Handbook.

These are the version numbers.

Spheres of Power, v1.32, 36 files
Expanded Options, v1.7, 2 files
Shapeshifter's Handbook, v1.5, 2 files
Shapeshifter's Handbook, v1.5, 4 files
Destroyer's Handbook, v1.6, 2 files
Diviner's Handbook, v1.6, 2 files
Enhancer's Handbook, v1.1, 2 files
Vivomancer's Handbook, v1.0, 2 files
Illuminator's Handbook, v1.2, 2 files
Mentalist's Handbook, v1.2, 2 files
Geomancer's Handbook, v1.4, 2 files
Telekinetic's Handbook, v1.4, 2 files
Battlemage's Handbook, v1.1, 2 files

Maybe just delete all of these and re-download and install fresh. Its a few minutes of work but it would get everything installed clean. :)

As Shadow says, Shapeshifter's showing up twice is a concern. Not sure if you just typed it twice by mistake, but the fact that one of them has 4 files instead of 2 suggests to me that one of them is the result of another handbook or two getting mislabeled in the update files (a mistake I have made before).

Your Vivomancer's Handbook is one version behind (current is 1.1), but other than that you do seem to be up to date.

If there are indeed two listings for the Alteration book then definitely try deleting the 4-file one (all non-Core SoP books I've put out to date have exactly 2 files) and then recompiling. If that doesn't fix it, I am inclined to agree with Shadow that a purge and fresh install of all SoP content is your best option. If you take that route, I recommend doing it this way:

1. Open up your downloads directory, which on most computers will be C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\download.
2. Delete any files in here with "SpheresOfPower" in their name.
3. Start HL, but do NOT load the game system. Instead, hit Find Updates on the Pathfinder system.
4. In the menu that appears, scroll down until you find Spheres of Power, select it, and hit Download. HL will download the latest version from our Dropbox and then ask to import it. Do NOT import the file at this point, just hit Cancel.
5. Repeat step 4 for every expansion book.
6. Close out of HL.
7. In the downloads folder, double-click on SpheresOfPower.hl (the core system package). HL will launch and ask you to import the file (same screen you canceled out of earlier). This time, let it do the import.
8. After the import is complete, select Pathfinder from the Game System Select menu. HL will compile and load Pathfinder. No need to open a portfolio at this point, just make sure it compiles without errors.
9. Close out of HL, then go back to step 7 and choose another SoP book. Keep doing this until you either get everything loaded and compiled or you run into an error.

This will get tedious, I know. But it will ensure that you're jumping straight to the latest version of each file without any older versions getting in our way. And if there's a problem with one particular book, it'll be easier to determine which one it is.

Good luck!
 
Removing everything Spheres related...

Downloading each component fresh...
Installed each, without any issues.
Hero Lab likes Spheres, once again.

Thanks guys.
