Selecting a new FSO exe file causes the launcher to freeze
Starting with the 5698 nightly build I have not been able to get any of the new nightly builds to work (5700 0r 5706).  The launcher freezes if I try to select any of the new builds and fred 2 wll not work with any of the new builds.  I tried renaming the exe files to drop the date and rev number. and replacing the old file with the new, both named fs2_open_3_6_11r_sse2 so I didn't have to select the new exe file.  When I went to open the launcher I got a message saying there was no disk in drive D.  Maybe this is a unique problem to windows 7 but I haven't had any problems with Rev. 5692 and previous.

Edit:
Never mind.  I tried it today and it worked.  Not sure why.

Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
