Unhandled Exception Error
Whenever I attempt to run the Ds game maker ide, it comes up with: Microsoft .NET Framework Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Illegal characters in path.
Details: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** 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.
The Ide still opens when continued, but the same error occurs when you try to make a new project, and that fails.
DS Game Maker is not a IDE.
DS Game Maker is not longer maintaned.
Are you using the VM Version? (https://dsgamemaker.online/vmrelease.html) It is a virtual machine with all the dependecies and the program installed.
So that download is a functional version of the software?
