i had the same problem with OpenYahtzee Portable. put this line in somewhere at the start:
SetOutDir "$EXEDIR\Data\Settings"
why this fixes it: dropcloth saves the config in the working directory, which is usally set by windows when you run the exe directly. so what that line of code does is set the working directory to the data folder, so that the settings file is saved there. and if this is a little unclear, can a mod fix it up?

Hm...
Does dropcloth have any paths in the INI file?
One more reason you can't compile is because VER is supposed to have 4 values separated by .'s and the Version is for launcher, not the app ;). I fixed up the code:

wouldn't it be easier to modify the actual app, instead of making a launcher? that's what i did, and if you wan't me to release it, by all means ask.

"Dropcloth is a simple application that overlays a solid colored window on top of your desktop. Especially handy for clearing your desktop for screenshots and screencasts, or just getting rid of all the distraction in front of you so that you can focus on just one application without closing out of anything or clearing off your desktop."
