I get the following error.
fatal error: hd44780.h: No such file or directory
#include <hd44780.h>
The hd44780 library file was put in with the library manager so presume it is in the correct place and I used the sketch include library from the IDE Version: 2.0.0-rc8 CLI Version: 0.24.0 [c1b10f56]

This may be a question that @bperrybap can answer.
Ok I just sorted this out.
I created a new project directory then copied everything across to it from the win 10 user directory.
I then altered the path in preferences, to point to the new directory.
Compilation was fine. I can only assume that I messed up in some way originally by downloading the zip, then later using the library manager, after reading bperrybap note about naming due to git and the problems it caused.
Please mark as solved so that other will not waste time coming here to help only to find it solved.
Yeah, don't install using a zip file if the IDE library manager can directly install it.
While installing from a zip file can be done in 1.x IDE I'm sure how zip file installation is handled in 2.x,
With 1.x it often has issues given the way github creates its zip images and the way the IDE handles zip files unless you do some manual correction after the zip install.
I recommend using the IDE library manager capability that automatically installs it for you without using a zip file whenever possible.
It is easier and faster as well.
