I found a glitch that I'm not sure many others would be in a position to notice.
I had to reinstall Windows while trying to change the way my system sees the SATA ports, so I fired up the beta after I got everything reinstalled. The program kept complaining about an exception not being handled properly, but still gave the option to continue. On a hunch, I installed FAM 1.0, and now 2.0 works again. So something that is installed with 1.0 is not in the package that I got from Alex, but is still required for FAM 2.0.
