#38 Regulator throws exception when starting.

[Anonymous]

I have a similar problem to bug 2748379 as when I start the Regulator I get a splash screen then the application fails with the following error:

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0x1174 (4468) Thread id=0xd3c (3388)

Click OK to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application."

When clicking cancel the Microsoft CLR Debugger tells me:

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occured in Regulator.exe

Additional information. The type initializer for 'Regulator.SDK.AppContext' threw an exception."

The debugging trace then shows the following with the error being at line 0000007e of "Regulator.GUI.MainForm..ctor":
