That's correct, it wasn't meant to be run on the SE5/Data folder. Obviously, I need to enforce the folder-choosing rules a bit better

I did copy the main facilities.txt file into the mod/data folder not run directly on the main folder.

1) Do you have .NET Framework 1.1 or above on your computer?

I'm not so sure. But the following answers may answer your question indirectly.

2) Do you have SEV version 1.08?

Yes indeed.

3) Have you modified the faciltiies.txt it's reading? What it looks like is happening is that it's expecting a number and its getting a string or .. something?

I do not seem to have modify the file although I cannot be 100% sure. To help you out, after I press continue in the error box, the program works and 10 facilities are displayed:
Space Yard Facility
Space Port
Resupply Depot
Mineral Miner Facility
Organics Farm Facility
Radioactives Extraction
Research Center
Intelligence Center
Robotoid Factory
System Robotoid Factory

So I feel the problem may come either from the System Robotoid Factory of the Medical Lab.

I have the following for there:

Maybe it doesn't like the "trunc" ? However the file works ok with SEV.

(Strange that I only gets the problem though...)

I get another problem. The combo box for choice of ability type is empty (cannot select). I have in the data folder only the following files:

Facilities.txt
TechAreas.txt
Component.txt

Are some others necessary ?
