Yeah, I just ran into a similar problem.
It'll run just fine without the new .exe, I just have to use Applocale.
But when I try to run it using the new .exe, it closes before reaching the main menu.
I'm thinking, do I need more than just the new .exe? Because if that's the case, I'll have to dig it all up.
EDIT: Just uh...No megaupload please, that site refuses to work for me right now. Which is a pain.
