************** 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:

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.

Unable to find troublecrypt.dll

I'm receiving an error when attempting to unpack the data. The app is unable to load troublecrypt.dll.

I made sure the dll is in the same directory. I've looked over Crypt.cs and it seems it just needs to be in the root directory of the app.

Failed to recognize zip files

File.Extension seems to return ".zip" instead of "zip"
I suppose the test haven't been down with mod installing? Since the modefication can be applied by using extracted data anyway.
Great job to this tool!
