It must be .NET Framework, I suspect.

You can start Dwarf Fortress without GUI - basically it's there just to customize the settings before you start to play. What I would try is downloading 4g and 4e and then replacing the GUI application file with an old one from 4e.

Did you try MWDF - SWP? As I can see, Splinterz updated the GUI a bit, though it was not really connected with incompatibility issues. But who knows, maybe it will work better.

I dont know what it could be. I think its not a bug in the GUI, but rather a dependency that your system does not have, like NET.framework, some software that missing, a Microsoft Service Pack... something like that. I honestly dont know.

I found this "d73f75374b65fea38feeedc8c51d26b8" in a german board about VB programs, but that was the only other hit. No solutions in there.

He's using Win7 x64 IIRC: he wrote about this earlier in one of the threads.

Vabalokis, could you check what versions of .NET you have installed, following this guide? I thought, sometimes different versions need to be used, so if there is a chance that there is no 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 in your system, it might be the case. Though I'm not really sure.

Writing from a position of ignorance here, but if you replace the MasterworkDwarfFortress/System.Windows.Forms.Ribbon35.dll file with the copy from one of the previous releases which does work for you, does that alter the situation at all?  (My git history says that it changed a bunch around the 22-23rd December, and I don't usually expect .dll files to change...)

Just an idea maybe try shutting down any virus scan and redownload? A while back my Norton was blocking the masterwork download. Maybe a new version of whatever you use is corrupting something during download or unzipping?

Haha watch out for those 4f diseases. They were insane.

The missing file makes me still think something is corrupting the download. Maybe a spy ware blocker or new firewall update recently?

Additional information: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.  The error is: Font 'Arial' does not support style 'Regular'.
that sounds like either a corrupt or unregistered font problem on your machine.

yes, copy/pasting things you think have changed to manually update can and will cause these kinds of problems.  :-\
