Event log says:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Smart Fpg Editor\SmartFpgEditor.exe.Manifest".Error in manifest or policy file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Smart Fpg Editor\SmartFpgEditor.exe.Manifest" on line 15. The value "0.5.1" of attribute "version" in element "assemblyIdentity" is invalid.
So this has to do with the manifest. Probably the version number must be complete (not only major minor and revision)
