It looks like the evil .NET has struck again. Unfortunately there is a small group of people whose .NET installs just refuse to play nice with the GUI. I actually migrated the code base from C# to VB to eliminate alot of the problems people were having. I'm sorry to all those who are having continuing issues. The one suggestion I can make is to make sure that your .NET 2.0 install has been updated to at least SP1. I know that 3.5 is out but all the other versions get patched independantly by MS. Check under Add Programs in your Control Panel to see what version it has for .NET 2.

The other problem people encounter is special characters in the filename such as " ` ". Depending on how these are named originally some are supported in a DOS environment and others aren't and corrupt the process batch files. The GUI is just a fancy frontend that creates and executes batch files, if something isn't supported in a DOS Prompt the process won't work.

The source code is available for those brave souls who wish to delve into my undocumented and adhoc method of programming and this may help you track down your specific issue as you can use the debugger to see where things crash.

If you are getting sporadic it works on some books and not others, could you please post the full filename as I can check at my end if its a special character issue.

Sorry I can't be more help but I'll try to sort out your issues as far as I can test them.
