Check your decimal separator.

after installing the runtimes and doing a re-install of 6. 00, I can get that to work with no errors. . . I even get the graphic splash screen at the start.
but v7. 00 or 7. 02 exes just give me the same mass errors.
I have a vague memory of having to install a DLL file at some point, but I can't get any closer than that. I'll see if I can dig anything up. I don't think I did anything special when I installed v7 on my current computer.
--- By any chance was it a DLL file that you could get from some sort of simple timer / clock program, thing?
and that, for some reason was the issue. . . even though I repeatedly overwrote the database, it was picking the original v6 database up (as I could tell from the test universes I created). . . had to place the v7 mdb in a completely different location and point to it manually.
Ah well. . .
Anyway. now to go and conquer the universe. . .
cheers

But I have a group of hostile contacts which I keep losing contact with each pulse (regardless of length) and then re-establishing contact with 5 seconds into the next pulse. . . even when they're deep inside my active sensor range. It's too quick for them to be transiting an unknown warp point and coming back, right? Let me know if there's anything else that'd be useful.
This is not a bug. These are Raiders; looks like they are popping into the system through their super-sneaky not-a-jump-point, seeing your active sensor, getting scared, and immediately jumping out.

Okay, probably a stupid question, but is there a way to edit populations to give them mines and factories, and that kind of stuff?
Economics window --> Civilian/Flags tab, in SM mode there should be buttons to edit/add installations.
You can also edit resources if you uncheck "Double-click sets reserve" in the Mining tab, in case you felt a need to do this. I don't know any ways to change fuel, ordnance, and MSP stocks but this is probably not too hard to do with commercial ships, etc. at the beginning of the game before things start happening.
Holy crap, this is a game changer
