Tiny Multi Bootloader+ / Discussion / Problerm with compiling the C# source

I recompiled the Tiny source (Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+ (v0.8.2)) using VS 2012 and accepted all the changes the VS software wanted to make and the code compiled 100%.
I created a release build and ran it creating ...

Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.application
Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.exe
Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.exe.manifest
Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.pdb
Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.vshost.exe

IF I run the file called "Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.application", I get the following error log file.

IF I run the file "Tiny_Avr-Pic_Bootloader+.exe" I assume all the changes I accepted from VS2012 come home to roost.
I get ...

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (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 computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

All I need is some PC code that will program my PIC, I am not yet experienced enough with C# to be debugging code I have no understanding of how it works.
I am reluctant to run (or execute) any more of the files as I do not want to hurt my main design machine.

My specifications, once I get anything working is ...
PIC18F4560 running with 3.579545 meg external Xtal and communication at 9600 baud.

movlw    b'01001000'    ; BRG16 = 1 (bit3)
movwf    BAUDCON        ;

movlw    .92        ; 103 x 3579545 / 4000000 = 9621.22 baud
movwf    SPBRG
movlw    b'10100100'    ; async tx 8 bit, brgh=1 9600 baud
movwf    TXSTA

I am SO out of my depth it is embarrassing.
Any thoughts to get at least the PC end working?
Having 'OK'd the PC error messages, I do get the main Tiny Window but, as you can appreciate, not much works.

Thanks in advance for what must be a simple answer for you but leaves me clueless..
I have been programming PICs in assembler for about 15 years and just past 60 years of age.
Old dogs and new tricks ?
