Kingdoms, unhandled exception

[Big War Bird]

After a long time away from M2TW I reinstalled both M2TW and Kingdoms.

Now I cannot run any of the kingdoms campaigns, I get this error from the launcher:

"An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

The system cannot find the file specified."

Clicking Continue does nothing.

In the details section is says this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

I can run M2TW just fine.

I am running 32 bit Vista, but last year it worked just fine. I have put on more memory (now 4 GB) and a new graphics card (Nvidia 8800 GTS OC.)

Mu guess is vista. Vista has made the error for things like CS:S too. I hate it. That is my best guess.

Has this happened since you upgraded to Vista? Did you have this problem in XP?

Has this happened since you upgraded to Vista? Did you have this problem in XP?

No, I haven't changed upgraded the OS. Six months ago using Vista it worked fine, now a fresh install doesn't work.

Edit: I've discoverd the problem. I installed Kingdoms over and Medieval 1.0. Kings installed the patches but never completely finished installing itself, even though the installer finished and everything appeared to be done.

I simply uninstalled the kingdoms campaigns and then reinstalled.
