I'm sure there's a simple reason I'm getting this error, here's my steps.
1. Brand new install of Windows 10 64, updated. (i5, 16G ram, basic nvidia card)
2. download GameEx Arcade edition, install.
3. receive a message that windows wants to install .Net 3.5 (includes 2)
4 after .net install completes I re attempt GameEx arcade.
5 install runs without error I start GameEx.
6 I see the wizard. when I advance to the "input settings" section I receive an Unhandled Exception.
I have tried regular edition, uninstalling and reinstalling .net and gameex. again I'm sure theres something basic I am overlooking.
Here's the content of the exception:
See the end of this message for details on invoking

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
