Having issues changing graphics sets all of a sudden.
When I attempt to switch it, I get an error. Contents of the log:

I can no longer start up the game; the art and raw folders are missing.
I downloaded a fresh pack, extracted it, and suffer the exact same issue.I thought something might've been up with my system (running for a few days), so I restarted it; no change. In fact, I can't even load the launcher anymore on my current install, it just produces an error log:

IOError: Failed to read settings, .\Dwarf Fortress 0.42.06 not really a DF dir?
I am totally baffled as to what's wrong. I've run the game absolutely fine for just over a month. It wasn't until I just tried to switch my graphics set that the whole thing exploded.

Edit: I can now suddenly run the game and switch graphics sets with a fresh extract of the starter pack. I still cannot manipulate or run my old install. This doesn't make any sense.

Edit2: Okay, I've reproduced the error 100% with a fresh pack and nothing else.
subedit: See video for visual reproduction:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdX2McVhTdgUntouched game; can switch graphic packs fine. Can run the game, close, switch, run, close, etc. All works fine.
However, for some reason, if I go into one of the folders inside the dwarf fortress game folder, it completely breaks the pack. Upon switching graphic sets afterward, the art (if existed) and raw folders get deleted, it errors, and then the launcher fails to start again.
I don't have a clue why this is happening. Nothing is being changed as far as I'm aware; it just up and breaks after I view one of the folders.
Additionally, the pack archive includes some dummy folder named ".", which appears to be a copy of itself (claims it can't write the same folder twice when extracting). This wasn't in previous editions.
Overall, there seems to be some issues with this pack..
Windows 7 x64; standard Windows Explorer for viewing files and folders.

Edit3: Resolved it by repacking and extracting. Still buggers up when I view the folder though no matter the drive. Doesn't make any sense; see later posts if interested.
