Expected result:

The program should start normally, as the instructions in the README state.

Screenshots

The error is too long to display with a screenshot. Everything else that I have described should be understandable without screenshots.

Debug log

The debug log as produced with the -v argument is below.

[piegamesde]

Interestingly enough, you both logs show different error messages each. The first one says "AccessDeniedException: C:\Users\JOSIAH\AppData\Local\piegames\bloc
kmap\cache\regions\cache.json" and the second one is "InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 2: ?C:
Users\JOSIAH\AppData\Roaming\piegames\blockmap\config"

Please have a look after these paths. Do they exist? (Do they look correct?) Are they accessible as a user?

[Peregrine05]

I notice that both debug logs contain the InvalidPathException, while only the first one contains the AccessDeniedException.

"C:\Users\JOSIAH\AppData\Local\piegames\blockmap\cache\regions\cache.json" (I changed the file extension to txt to make GitHub accept the upload) had been created by the program, and is accessible.

"C:\Users\JOSIAH\AppData\Roaming\piegames\blockmap\config" had not been created by the program, but it is accessible after I create it. The program fails to start with the same error even after creation of the folder.

[piegamesde]

I just notice that you are still on Windows 7. It is EOL, so please try to reproduce this issue on a more recent system. Note that I only have a Windows 10 VM myself for testing.

[Peregrine05]

The GUI version of the program works normally on Linux Mint. So far, the command line version of the program appears to work on Windows 7.
