I figured I'd update for the "Remove need for administrative rights under UAC policy" change, so updated using the installer which downloaded the files as normal.
When running as a regular user, I get the "Could not load file or assembly 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib'" error as noted above. I closed and reopened Ember and received an error message telling me I couldn't access errlog-old.txt
I renamed ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll to ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll.old and re-ran Ember. Same problem, same error message. From the message I'm not surprised. No new ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll was created.
I ran with the -recover switch (first as a regular user, which ran with nothing onscreen, then closed, then as administrator which did the same but at least with the splash screen). Running now as user or administrator still has the same problem.
So, I deleted the whole Ember directory and did a fresh install, downloading all the files for the second time. Now, I get a "The type intializer for 'EmberAPI.Master' threw an exception." error whether I run as administrator or not, and using the -recover switch doesn't make any difference.
So, I deleted the whole directory again and did a second fresh install (incidentally, this is why I loathe downloadable-only installers -- why should I download the software three times when once will do?). Again the "The type intializer for 'EmberAPI.Master' threw an exception." appears.
So now I have no Ember Media Manager. If I could download a standalone build of each version at least I could download 1.1 and have it work. The word "error" does not appear anywhere in the install.log. The only error I now have in the profile directory is this:
