[Crash] after installation and when running

from Stardock Forums

I got this exception right after installation.

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\bhixon\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock'.
   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

And I got this one when I try to run it:

Hi,

Thanks for this.  Sounds like a bad installation?  Did you install it to another drive?

We have been able to reproduce the first crash, and will have it fixed tomorrow.  Does the second one still happen for you?

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still crashes when I try to run it.

Is there any other info I can give you?

This bug has been fixed and will be included in the next release.

Sorry for the trouble.

So I grabbed the new version and that particular crash has gone away. Now I get:

An unhandled exception ('System.NullReferenceException') occurred in ReadyToPlayCore.exe [2964].

Pulling it up in my debugger gives this info:
