@Gorlums I would like to see your work so when you get done post a link here to be Down Load or something like that?
That will work fine. However, note that if you are running a 64 bit version of windows, the express edition will only allow you to create a 64-bit version of the executable. Such executables are not compatible with 32 bit versions of windows, which are still quite common.
I can't get it to run right now on Windows 7 x64.
When Galatopedia started, it asked me for the location of Galactic Civilizations. I gave it the wrong directory (into the Twilight instead of Galactic Civilizations) and its been crashing on me since.
Where are the configuration files (like in documents/appdata/...) and where can I wipe them? Normally I'd change the path, but since I can't even start the app without it crashing, I can't do that.
Update:
Deleting the program, redownloading, and re-installing it does not work.
Here's the crash report by the way:
Description: Stopped workingProblem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: galactopedia.exe Problem Signature 02: 1.7.6.21717 Problem Signature 03: 4a0e9d9a Problem Signature 04: System.Windows.Forms Problem Signature 05: 2.0.0.0 Problem Signature 06: 4a275ebd Problem Signature 07: 22a4 Problem Signature 08: 37 Problem Signature 09: System.InvalidOperationException OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48 Locale ID: 4105
Update again, going into regedit and fixing the entry in the registry worked.
Go to:
@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Kynosarges\Galactopedia"
If that does not work (for any other users doing this), wipe the Kynosarges entry out completely.
Change the directory if incorrect. I found this out by downloading the source of the previous edition and looking through it. If possible, please send me the source as well.
Thanks.
New Error:
Whenever I switch the source from regular Galactic Civilizations to Twilight of the Arnor, it crashes:

This bug seems to occur when you have 2 xml files of the same key. To solve it, find the error and wipe out the registry files like I mentioned above.
Update Again - Problem of Bug found:
Crash when you have 2 tech trees with the same display names.
