Error on startup: "GAMEX has stopped working"

[BerkCA]

I am running Windows 7 SP1 32-bit. I just installed GameEx for the first time (free version). I went through the GameEx Setup Wizard. I have not been able to start GameEx.exe successfully--each time I try to open it, I immediately get a Windows error message "GAMEX has stopped working." Here are the error details, from the Windows error screen:

Hi BerkCA, and welcome to the forums!

Hey would you do me a favor? Search your GameEx installation directory (C:\GameEx\ by default) for the following file:

System.Data.SQLite.dll

Please let me know if you find it in there. Beyond that we'll dive into some traditional troubleshooting steps.

Thanks!

Edit:

For anyone who's wondering just what the hell I'm on about, this was the first hit I got when I googled "Event Name: CLR20r3". Being that System.Data.SQLite.dll is an included assembly with GameEx, I figured it might be related to the error seen here.

Good spot null!

There is a file missing from the current install. This will happen on all new installs. I am updating the package now.

Funny, I am actually a big guy How did you know?

Big as in heavy? Well join the club! LOL!

Here it's a term of endearment even if one is small.

How do you know I am small! Not like I walk passed the open windows much.

Sometimes, depending on the vocal inflection, calling someone a "big guy" can have a negative meaning, as in someone that acts like they are more important than they really are and calling them out on it.

Big guy huh? LOL. There's been a lot of wishful thinking around lately.
