I had it look for updates. It found one, but couldn't download it from Apogee for some reason.

On Sunday, I started up the program again. D'oh! It crashed on start. I got the Windows XP "...has encountered a problem and needs to close" box.

Here is the Error signature stuff:

AppName: rocksim.exe AppVer: 9.0.5.80 ModName: advapi32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5755 Offset: 0000eb75

Is there I way I can update without actually having RockSim running?

Locate the license file (*.ilf) and save it somewhere you can find it again.

Save all of your working CSV files from the DATA folder.

Download a fresh (full) copy of RockSim. Something failed during the previous download and corrupted the installation. Fully delete the current installation, then delete the remaining files in the RockSim folder.

Install the fresh copy, but do not run it. Create a new subfolder within the main RockSim folder and copy all of the 'new' CSV files into it. Rename it "DATA BACKUP", or something similar. Now, move your original CSV files directly into the DATA folder.

Now run RockSim and point it to your license file. You should see the version as 9.0.8 Build 84, or possibly something newer. Tim announced a new build just a few days ago.
