DAModder just crashes with no message whatsoever
I am sure I have .net 3.5 installed:

I am running the RC version of win7 but that shouldnt matter, it updates .net as normal.

   I have found the problem because the beta version shows the Exception trace. I have placed the files in the Program Files dir, which requires elevated rights. If this app would have an installer or writes its files in the user dir it would probably be fixed.

   See the end of this message for details on invoking
   just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

   Exception Text System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'DAModder.DALog' threw an exception. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\DAModder Beta 2.2.6\damodder.log' is denied.

   So it does work fine if extracted somewhere other than program files?

   An installer is coming eventually, I just haven't found the time to make one up yet, or find a good free one.

   It works fine in any directory where a normal user does not need elevated rights. Which is sort of obvious I guess, now that I think of it :)

   Hi I'm running vista x64 (for now) and for some reason I can't get damodder to work!

   just the message: damodder has stopped working.

   I did compatibility mode, all of them. Also changed rights on all folders related to dragon age or damodder to admin (which is what I run as), however I've still not got it to work!

   There is no readme file for some special installation is there?

   and yes I know this isn't the correct place to post but as windows 7 is basically a revised version of vista, I figured this would be the best place to mention it.
