Guild Wars Multi-Launch

I want to share this project with the community. An open source (GPLv3 license) program to make opening multiple copies of Guild Wars simpler. There is also support for multiple Texmodded Guild Wars.

The instructions are in the readme.txt file distributed with the binaries. It does not make any changes to any Guild Wars files, so you don't have to worry about updates breaking it or you breaking the TOS.

I consider this an alpha build, there are bound to be bugs. I have only tested this on my Windows XP box. Not sure if it will work under Vista or Windows 7. The Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is required.

Update - 2009/05/12: New version ready. 0.2a should be more compatible with Vista and Windows 7 now. Thanks go to Moriz for testing the first release in Win7! Please report any bugs as you find them.

Update - 2009/05/10: As mentioned further down in this thread, there seems to be issues with using it in Windows 7 and possibly Vista. Will look into these as soon as I have these installed. Please post if you are having trouble using it in XP as well.
