The program requires the .NET Framework 2.0.
Right, it use modern technology, rather than shoddy c++ com32 api programming from a decade ago.
Nothing wrong with using C++ Win32/COM. It was, and still is, useful. In fact, you can do all the features you listed for your modlauncher with that "decade old" technology. As a bonus, it doesn't require users to download a 280MB VM framework (and that's just the x86 version! IA-64 is more than double that), it will just run with the *.exe. Takes less memory, too.

"Modern Technology" ain't always all it's cracked up to be.
