Is there any reason why this is a launcher? The product is open source, so you are allowed to modify and redistribute it.

Good point... The reason that I chose to use the launcher was for simplicity. I'm able to hack my way around an .ini file, but I've never really attempted to do any real coding. Maybe now is a good time to give it a try.
Where do you suggest I start? I've read through the development guides on this site and it looks like the major issue with this app will be .NET. Are there any new ideas on how to solve this issue?
What're you trying to say? All I'm saying is that you should include the program in the download, nothing else.

Oh... OK. It is included already. I knew that was OK since it is open source. I will change the name so that it is not called a launcher. I think that I was incorrect in calling it a launcher.
I've been testing this some more and I'm having a problem. The folder name changes (where the user.config settings are stored) depending on what computer or when the app is launched. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
